What is a line up in softball?

A line up in softball is the order in which each player is scheduled to bat in a game. The line up is typically written before the game starts and is usually determined by the coach or manager of the team. Generally the order of the line up will stay the same throughout the game although substitutions can be made at any time.The line up typically consists of nine players and the order is as follows: Leadoff hitter (a fast runner) Second hitter (a contact hitter) Third hitter (a power hitter) Cleanup hitter (best hitter in the lineup) Fifth hitter (another power hitter) Sixth hitter (a contact hitter) Seventh hitter (another contact hitter) Eighth hitter (a power hitter) Ninth hitter (a fast runner)The order of the line up can be changed depending on the situation. For example the coach might move a power hitter to the leadoff spot if a team needs to score more runs. Additionally the order of the line up can be changed to set up different matchups with opposing pitchers.


Is designated hitter eliminated after hitting from hitting again in the same game?

No, the designated hitter hits for the whole game unless he is replaced by another player. You may be getting the rule mixed up with the National League. If a pitcher has completed an inning and the manager feels he has done his duty on the mound, he will call in a pinch-hitter for the pitcher (if he comes to bat before they go back out on the field). That hitter will only hit for that one time, then the next pitcher will take his place in the lineup. If they happen to bat around that inning, the pinch hitter will bat again.

How do you find info on baseball bat manufacturers?

try searching up a official site of the manafacturers but I know some bat ranks here they are 1. DeMarini ( my favorite !!!!!!!!!!!! ) 2. Easton ( love the Stealths and Synergys ) 3. Louisville Slugger ( Alex Rodriguez got sponsored by them ) 4. Rawlings ( thier Nemesis bats are pretty good ) 5. Worth ( I have the Amp and It's ranked the 6th best bat ) If you are looking to buy a bat buy a DeMarini because they're th top bat manafacturers I won a 2009 DeMarini Vendetta for half the price $60.00 on ebay. Yes, they are quite popular. But, if you want to find a certain manufacturer, i would look them up on google, and look for their official site. ask around but if your a power hitter get a bat that does not have a tingy sound because they are thin and brake easier and dont hit as solid but if your are an on base hitter then get a light bat that is strong so you can place it well.


In cricket do you run with the bat?

You do not need a bat to complete a run while playing cricket, only to ground some part of your body over the crease. The bat acts as an extension of your arm so it is beneficial to use it to complete runs.
