In what year was the pitchers 'mound' introduced?
The pitcher's mound was introduced in 1893. Prior to 1893, there was a 4 foot wide by 5 1/2 foot long box on flat ground that the pitchers pitched from. The pitcher could put his back foot anywhere along the 4 footback line of the box, which was 55 1/2 feet from home plate, to start his delivery. In 1893, to create more offense, the box was replaced with a raised mound and a rubber slab from where the pitcher could start his delivery. The rubber slab was 12 inches in length and positioned 60 1/2 feet from home plate. With the pitched ball having to travel an extra five feet and the pitcher not being able to use a wide angle to deliver the pitch, the league batting average rose 35 points in 1893 and another 29 points in 1894.

What angle is home plate measurements?
There are three 90 degree angles. (Looking at home plate from a "pitcher's viewpoint), the wide "front" of home plate has 90 degree angles on both sides. The back point, e.g. "the heart of the plate," is also a 90 degree angle. The two angles closest to the batter's back foot are both 135 degrees. This is because these angles are the sum of a 90 degree angle and a 45 degree angle. The back "triangle" of home plate is a 45-45-90 triangle. Hope this helps.

What is the size of the mat behind home plate for slow pitch softball?
I have found various answers all over. No official dimensions exist but plent of leagues play by it. Some manufacturers call it a "mat" or a "home plate extension" or a "carpet." One league even mandates a gap the size of a softball between the mat and the plate. I'm making my own and we won't be playing with a gap. So, the dimensions I have decided to use to make my own are 17" wide (same as home plate) and 26" long. The notch in it is 8.5" deep to match the shape of the plate. The new total rectangle dimentions including home plate thus will be 17" wide by 34.5" long (8.5" side edge length of the plate + 26" extension).
