Rule 1.07 of MLB states: The pitcher's plate... ...be set in the ground... ...so that the distance between the pitcher's plate and home base (the rear point of home plate) shall be 60 feet, 6 inches. But you asked "to the pitcher's mound". Since the pitcher's circle is 9 feet in diameter, one might think the answer would be (60 feet, 6 inches) minus the radius (4 feet, 6 inches) of the pitcher's circle, but the pitcher's plate is not necessarily in the center of the pitchers circle. As a result, there is no set distance from home plate to the pitcher's mound. Incidently, the distance BETWEEN home plate and the pitcher's plate is 59 feet, 1 inch (the NEAR point of home plate).
