Abstract
A portable pitching mound with a body having a generally convex upper surface and a flat lower surface defined by an arcuate outer edge portion terminating in a chord-like front edge. The upper surface is formed with a flat rear surface area and a parallel flat front surface area offset downwardly of the rear surface area. The front and rear parallel flat surface areas extend, respectively, forwardly and rearwardly from an upstanding shoulder which is parallel with the chord-like front mound edge. The upstanding shoulder is located midway between the chord-like front edge and the arcuate outer edge portion at the rear of the mound.
