By pitcher's "mound," I'm assuming you mean "plate," or "rubber."
The pitcher's plate is closer to home plate, as the distance from the front of the pitcher's plate to the back of home plate is 60' 6". The distance from the back of home plate to the center of second base is 127' 3 3/8".
Therefore, the distance from the pitcher's plate to second base is 66' 9 3/8", not taking into account the fact the pitcher's plate is 6" wide and the base is 15" wide. Even if we do take these additional measurements into account, the pitcher's plate is still closer to home plate than to second base.

The mound is closer to home plate by about 10 inches than Second Base. The Mound is 60 and 1/2 in. away from home plate and second base is 127 in. from home plate

This is a GREAT question.
I've seen the 3rd baseman shag ground balls at warm-ups & throw from 3rd to 1st on what looks like a 'perfect line' ---- meanwhile the pitcher keeps tossing his practice pitches -- and DOESNT get hit in the head. Explain!!

It is NOT in the middle; it's closer to home.
