The pitching distance is the most overused argument of all time.

How much bigger is a softball and how much more movement is on a baseball?

An MLB pitcher can throw a ball that looks like is going to hit you dead in the face and it curves into the outside of the strike zone.

The softball cannot move that much with its size and distance from the plate.


don't think this softball mom understands the physics of softball v baseball or the human physiological differences between males and females. Baseball players who throw flat, 90+ mph pitches don't last very long. There's a lot bigger difference between the two sports than simply how fast the ball is moving when it crosses the plate

Well I would just have her explain why fast pitch men's league softball pitches from further back than the women.

...and I am not bagging on the girls in NCAA softball. They would kick my arse all over the field.

I completely understand the difference, that is a inane comment.
I can easily say you guys no nothing about softball. You don't even know that the movement of a fastpitch is just as important as in baseball. It's called a rise up, drop screw, and all depends on the how the pitcher grips it just like baseball.

Here is a sports science article and the differences and similarities of hitting both.
Dare you to read and watch it!
