Question
What is the distance  from home plate to pitchers mound?   Thank You

Answer
Pat,

The pitcher's plate shall be set in the ground so that the front side of the pitcher's plate and home base(the rear point of home plate) is 46 feet (LL Rule 1.07).  It's the same as in the Major(Little League) Division.

Hope this has helped, if you have any other questions, please feel free to ask.
