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.
10 inches higher than home plate
In MLB, no. The last change in mound height occurred at the start of the 1969 season when the height was lowered from 15 inches to 10 inches.
The height of the little league pitchers mound is 6".
18 inches
1969
There is no height difference. A softball mound is not raised like a baseball mound.
Heighth difference from top of homeplate to the top of the pitchers rubber.
By regulation, the peak of the mound should rise 10 1/2 inches above home plate.
In MLB, the pitching rubber is at a height of 10 inches.
I was wondering how high the pitchers mound was in little league?
