This is because the rules of Baseball say the mound is a distance from homeplate that is less than halfway the distance between homeplate and 2nd base.
The distance is the same between each base in order (the same from home to 1st, 1st to 2nd, 2nd to 3rd, 3rd to home.) This results in the distance between homeplate and 2nd equal to the distance between 1st and 3rd.
If you draw a line between homeplate and 2nd, and a line between 1st and 3rd, the lines will intersect in the center of the baseball diamond. However, the center point will be behind the pitcher's mound.
You can use the Pythagorean Theorem to prove the distance from the mound to home is less than the center point, but that is another question. (Hint: The distance squared from home to first plus the distance squared from first to second divided by 2).

What does a mound 138 feet and 30 feet wide occupy?
A mound that is 138 feet tall and 30 feet wide typically occupies a significant amount of space and represents a large structure or natural formation. It could be an archaeological site, such as a burial mound or a ceremonial site, or a natural feature like a hill. The dimensions suggest it is substantial enough to be a notable landmark in its environment, possibly holding historical or cultural significance. Its size may also indicate it was constructed or formed through significant human or geological activity.
Is the Charles Mound actually a mountain?
That's a good question...some specific names escape me now, but there are "mountains" elsewhere in the U.S...once agian, I forget the names, but the highest eleveations in missisippi for example are often detailed as a small mountain range and part of Appalccia, however only reaching no higher than a bit under 900 ft., classified as such that are significantly lower than Charles Mounds height of 1,235 ft. above sea leve. I do wonder if there are finer points to consider, but then again, there is no single uniform definition of mountain. I've heard some figuires of 1,000 ft, some at 2,000, for being the minimum.
