In one sentence, describe what the following article is about:

There should be a clear path longer than 60 feet (18.29 meters) between the pitcher’s mound and home plate. The line from home plate through the pitcher’s mound to second base should run east-northeast to keep the sun out of the pitcher’s eyes. Measure the distance from the back of home plate to the front of the pitcher’s plate with a tape measurer. The pitcher’s plate is a rubber rectangle that is 24 in (610 mm) long. Align the middle of the pitcher’s plate with the middle of home plate. Use a transit level to take a reading from home plate and a reading from the pitcher’s plate. Fill in the area around the pitcher’s plate with a mixture of clay, sand, and dirt until it is 10 in (254 mm) taller than home plate. Then, place the pitcher’s plate firmly on top of the dirt.
Situate the pitcher's mound directly in line with home plate. Place the pitcher’s plate 60 ft 6 in (18.44 m) from the back of home plate. Ensure the pitcher’s plate is 10 in (254 mm) taller than home plate.
