re: Do college softball players do any conditioning at all?

There's at least 2-3 morbidly obese softball players on every SEC team it seems. And it's been that way for as long as I can remember.

They're pretty much always first basemen or pitchers. There are plenty of fat baseball players too at thos positions. But in softball, when the base paths in are like 60 feet as opposed to 90 and it's 220 to dead center and 200 to left/right fields, it doesn't really matter as much how fat they are when they don't have to run far and don't have to hit it far to hit it out of the ballpark. But most softball players are in good shape from what I've seen, and there are quite a few very attractive players on every team.
