This question is open, not to mention it has been asked many times.
The mound is defined as being an 18-foot diameter circle, the center of which is 59 feet from the back of home plate. Thus, the MOUND is 50 feet from the back of home plate. Home plate is 17 inches long. Hence, the mound is 48 feet, 5 inches from home plate.
If you are asking what the distance is between the pitcher's plate and home plate, the front of the pitcher's plate to the back of home plate is 60.5 feet (60 feet, 6 inches for those who don't know how to interpret decimals). The distance from the front of the pitcher's plate to the front of home plate is 59.08333 feet.

The links below will give you, among a whole lot of other very basic baseball information, diagrams and dimensions of the infield, including detailed info on the mound and the plate area.
BTW, it's agood thing that you specified professional baseball. A Little League diamond is 2/3's the size of the professional one.
