Rosin bags are still on the back slope of every major league pitchers mound.
According to Major League Baseball rules, the peak of the mound (where the pitching rubber sits) must be ten and 1/2 inches above the level of home plate (MLB Rule 1.04). The degree of slope from an area six inches in front of the rubber is one inch to one foot (this is in the direction of the plate), and must be uniform. The pitching rubber is legally defined in the rules as the "pitcher's plate". Although the rules do not specifically say so, it stands to reason that the slope on the back of the mound must be steeper, since the mound is circular and the rubber is toward the back of the mound. The diameter of the mound is 18 feet.
In MLB, the front slope of the pitching mound begins 54' from the back point of home plate.
The mound all depends on the field that you play on, until you become a professional.

A regulation pitcher's mound is 18' in diameter, the center of which is 59' from the back of home plate. The pitcher's plate (or pitching rubber as it is commonly called) is 18" behind dead center of the mound. The slope from the rubber shall begin 6" in front of the rubber and will slope toward home plate 1" for every 1'. The rubber rests 6" inside the front edge of a level area 5' wide and 34" deep and shall not be more than 10" higher than the playing field.
The major internal cause of slope failure is gravity.
The 'earth mound' is on the inside of the pool. If you are building one be sure it has a good slope to it as it will become the bottom shape of your pool when you add your liner.

The baseball diamond has no official heigth, it is a level playing field, except that the pitcher's mound is 10 inches above the field with a gradual slope off.

The pitcher's mound is 10 inches off the ground when compared to home plate. The distance between the pitcher's mound and home plate is 60 feet, 6 inches or 726 inches. We can use these to formulate a triangle where the triangle's base is 726 inches and its height is 10 inches, with an unknown hypotenuse length. We assume the triangle to be a right triangle at the pitcher's mound on the ground, and an angle of elevation (a) at home plate. Using the Pythagorean theorem, we find that the length of this triangle's hypotenuse is 726.06886 inches, and using the law of sines, we find that the angle of elevation of the pitcher's mound from home plate is 0.78914 degrees.
Slope is a noun (a slope) and a verb (to slope).
