What year did the MLB pitchers mound height change?
The top of the rubber is to be no higher than ten inches (25.4 cm) above home plate. From 1903 through 1968, this height limit was set at 15 inches, but was often slightly higher, sometimes as high as 20 inches (50.8 cm), especially for teams that emphasized pitching. The lowering of the mound in 1969 was intended to "increase the batting" once again, as pitching had become increasingly dominant, reaching its peak the prior year; 1968 is known among baseball historians as "The Year of the Pitcher". This restrictive rule apparently did its job, contributing to the hitting surge of modern baseball.

Why are pitching mounds 60 feet 6 inches away from batter?
The "feet" or "foot" sign was confusing to the first guy who first read and measured it. The (60ft) was read (606"). The pitching mound was moved back from 50' to 60'6" in 1893 (the last change in the dimensions of the field) in response to the practice of "fast pitching" in the league at the time. Pitchers had been pushing the envelope of the rules governing how a pitch could be delivered to the plate for years and the great Giant's pitcher Amos Rusie was probably the fastest pitcher of his day.The distance was adopted to level the playing field between hitters and pitchers. It should be noted that it took pitchers years to catch up at the new distance and the 1890's were an era of very high team and individual batting averages, the all time highs in these categories were set then and have never been surpassed. Hugh Duffy of the Boston Nationals set the all time record for a single season BA in 1894, alternately recorded as .438 or .440 and it was common for team BA's to be well over the .300 mark.
