Please tell me you can see the difference in the two. A bigger ball with no seams, thrown from a closer distance, with an underhanded motion is not going to move as much as a baseball


Now I know you don't know a single thing about softball! Softballs have seams, don't know where you got that information!

because some of the softballs i've seen have dimples and not seams. Regardless, do you care to address anything else? Or do you want to continue to argue like my wife and get hung up on the minutia?

You ignored the fact the little league players pitch from a mound ~45 ft away and throw the equivalent of 90+ mph pitches. Could they, too, hit a college/MLB pitchers since the pitches have movement and are coming in comparably fast?

Do softballs move as much as baseball do? Not do they move at all, do they move as much? The average spin rate for a baseball pitcher throwing 92 mph is 2200 rpm. The average spin rate for a softball pitcher is 1200 rpm. Not sure how you're going to reconcile that argument but I welcome you to try.

Is it easier to hit a ball with a circumfrence of 12.13 inches or a ball with a circumfrence of 9 inches?

Is it easier to swing a bat that weighs 23-28 oz or 31-34 oz?
