The pitcher's mound is 10 inches off the ground when compared to home plate. The distance between the pitcher's mound and home plate is 60 feet, 6 inches or 726 inches.
We can use these to formulate a triangle where the triangle's base is 726 inches and its height is 10 inches, with an unknown hypotenuse length. We assume the triangle to be a right triangle at the pitcher's mound on the ground, and an angle of elevation (a) at home plate.
Using the Pythagorean theorem, we find that the length of this triangle's hypotenuse is 726.06886 inches, and using the law of sines, we find that the angle of elevation of the pitcher's mound from home plate is 0.78914 degrees.

When you reduce the angle from 45 degrees to 20 degrees does it make it harder to pull up a slope?
No - it makes it easier - as the slope is less steep.

What is the slope of a pitching mound to home plate?
The slope of a baseball pitching mound to home plate typically has a rise of 1 foot for every 12 feet of horizontal distance, resulting in a 1:12 slope. The pitcher's mound is 10 inches high at its peak, which is located 60 feet 6 inches from home plate. This slope ensures that pitchers can achieve an effective delivery while maintaining player safety.

What is a 1 in 40 slope in degrees?
A 1 in 40 slope means that for every 40 units of horizontal distance, there is a 1 unit rise. To convert this to degrees, you can use the arctangent function. The formula to convert slope to degrees is arctan(slope) = angle in degrees. Therefore, for a 1 in 40 slope, the angle in degrees would be approximately 1.43 degrees.
When you reduce the angle from 45 degrees to 20 degrees does it make it harder to pull up a slope?
No - it makes it easier - as the slope is less steep.
