Is it considered a visit to the mound if a coach goes to the mound while a pitcher is warming up between innings?
Yes. The only time a manager can go to the mound and it not be considered a visit is if the manager believes his pitcher is injured. In that case the home plate umpire will accompany the manager to the mound and listen to the entire conversation to ensure that the manager and pitcher are not talking strategy but solely about how the pitcher is feeling.
What is the distance between home plate and the pitcher mound in digits?
60
Has Terry Francona ever visited the mound without pulling the pitcher?
Yes. A few times.
What is the distance from the pitcher's mound if it is 60 feet 6 inches from home plate?
Ummm... 60 feet 6 inches.
Do you measure the distance from the pitchers mound to home plate from the back corner of home plate?
You start at the pointy end of home plate and measure 60 feet 6 inches towards second base. That is where you would place the front of the pitcher's rubber. Then from the middle of the pitcher's rubber you measure 18 inches towards home plate and mark that spot. Measure an 18 foot radius around the marked spot. That is the pitcher's mound boundary. To make sure you're correct, you would then measure from the front of the mound to the front of the pitcher's rubber. It should equal 11 feet 6 inches.
