My son was on the grouds crew for a AAA minor league team, and I saw them build a mound in the indoor batting cages. I was told by the head grouds keeper that the mound is 12 " above home plate with a 1" fer foot drop going from the mound toward home plate. Also, the top area of the mound, a 24" circle is totally flat around the mound, something I never knew before.

The top of the rubber on the pitchers mound is to be no higher than ten inches (25.4 cm) above home plate. From 1903 through 1968, this height limit was set at 15 inches, but was often slightly higher, sometimes as high as 20 inches (50.8 cm), especially for teams that emphasized pitching, such as the Los Angeles Dodgers, who were reputed to have the highest mound in the majors. A higher mound usually works in favor of the pitcher.
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.
