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

This thread was kind of mean from the start, and while it is true that there are more fatties in NCAA softball than NCAA baseball (percentage wise), you have to know that someone will come on here defending them to the death.

Now the discussion has morphed as it always does when someone is losing an argument, the goal posts get moved and the debate continues.

So let's answer some questions:

1) Do college softball players do any conditioning at all?
I would guess so, but I really don't know. If someone can chime in on this it would be great since it is the original question.

2) Can men hit women's softball pitching?
Yes, any beer league men's fast pitch team would crush them. MLB players would be even worse if they practiced for a minute.

3) Can women hit MLB or even NCAA pitching.
Hell no. Once the male body reaches maturity, they surpass females in strength and speed and while there will always be exceptional athletes who do way better than the norm, when you are only talking about the most exceptional male athletes, the women cannot get to that level.

Now I am not saying that there will never be a woman who can play with the men, but overall they just can't keep up.


All that said, I still love watching softball as it is a much more viewer friendly sport than baseball. So I can see why it gets better ratings. Also it is on the main ESPN channels more often than baseball. Probably because the games take half the time.
