pitcher's mound
Thrower's raised platform
The pitcher's mound is the raised area of dirt in the center of a baseball diamond from which the pitcher throws.
It stands ten inches above home plate and sixty feet six inches from it.
The rubber—a white slab atop the mound—marks where the pitcher must stand when delivering the ball.
