In Major League Baseball, the pitching distance from the pitcher's mound to home plate is 60 feet, 6 inches. This distance has been standard since 1893 and is used for all levels of professional play. The mound itself is 10 inches high, which adds to the challenge for batters facing pitchers.

Pitching mound dimensions are as follows: Diameter: 18 feet Height: 10.5 inches at the rubber, with a plateau at the top of the mound 5 feet wide. Distance to HB: 59 feet (60', 6" from back tip of home plate) The pitching rubber is 18 inches behind the center of the mound (10 feet in front of rubber and 8 feet behind rubber). Dimensions of the rubber are 24 inches by 6 inches.Slope: Beginning 12 inches in front of rubber a line extended to HB will fall 1 inch for every 1 foot of distance until it is level with the plate.
40 or 43 feet
From high school on, it is 60' 6".
The distance from the pitching rubber to the back tip of home plate in professional, college and high school baseball is 60 ft. 6 in. In some leagues 13-14 will pitch from that same distance, but in some they will throw from 54 ft. as a transition from little league to high school. I would check with your rules for your league and work from there.
The distance from home plate to the pitcher's mound in Little League is 46 feet. High school, college, and Major League Baseball standard is 60 feet and 6 inches (a mistake in measuring long ago but was left that way). Pitcher's mound distances are ALWAYS measured from the front of the rubber to the rear tip of home plate.
