Softball

Professional softball has a very modest salary cap. The annual salaries range from $7,500 to $15,000 per season.

Softball coaches make a min. 21,500 and a max. of 25,000

As many as she can without getting sore. There is no limit like is common in baseball. The softball pitching motion is much more natural and places much less sress on the shoulder if the pitcher's mechanics are correct. Many top softball pitchers can throw two games a day if needed,

There is not a specific book on Softball for Dummies, but there are many other books that can help you if you need to find out more about softball.

the bases in soft ball are generally 45 to 65 feet apart.

Use the Pythagorean theorem square root of C is equal to a^2 + b^2

Where a and b are the two base lines a - between first and second and b - between second and third... in most cases a and b should be equal numbers... square them and add them then take the square root of that to find your diagonal line through the square or diamond from third base to first base. Lets say the distance between the bases is 45 feet.

so the distance between first and third is the square root of 45 squared + 45 squared

2025 + 2025 = 4050

square root of 4050 is your answer

63.64 feet between first and third on a softball diamond that has 45 feet separation between bases.

In MLB, the front slope of the pitching mound begins 54' from the back point of home plate.

The batter will need to reach 1st base safely (credited with reaching safely by hit or error) before any runs count on a play where a 3rd out is recorded. If the batter and all runners required to run advance to the next base safely, any player crossing the plate before the out will count. If all players required to run DO NOT safely advance then no runs will count even if they cross the plate before the out is recorded

(much like many rules in baseball there are several scenerios, those need to be discussed on the discussion page)

You can tag a runner anytime but it's most important to tag a runner when it's not a force out play. When a baserunner runs to the next base without a runner behind him he must be tagged out before reaching base.

the two are pretty much the same. the only things different are that in baseball the runner can lead off earlier, and the pitches are over hand. in softball the runner has to wait until the ball is pitched before leading off, and the pitches are under hand. some of the rules are different but that's it.

By rule, there are four criteria for a sacrifice fly. 1) The ball is hit to the outfield, 2) The batter is out because an outfielder made the catch or an infielder made the catch in the outfield, 3) There are less than two outs, 4) A runner already on base scores after the catch. The official scorer has the option of giving a batter a sacrifice fly in instances when all four rules are not met. For example, if the outfielder drops what appeared to be an easy fly ball, the scorer could charge the outfielder with an error and award the batter a sacrifice fly. The answer to this question is yes, the batter would be awarded an RBI.

This position is called shortstop. They act as a cut-off form the outfield on plays that require a relay. They also usually take the throw from the catcher to second base to tag a runner stealing the base.

An object with less mass will have a greater speed when the same amount of energy is expended into it. Thus, a baseball will be going much faster than a softball at the time it is thrown. For the same angle of launch, an object will go further when it has a higher velocity (a fairly trivial and simple fact).

Additionally, an object with greater surface area is slowed much quicker than one with less surface area. The baseball experiences less drag at the same speed than the softabll; while it is travelling faster and experiences greater drag as a result, it will also go further before being remotely near to the speed of the softball.

Total bases is not relevant with pinch runners. Total bases is only relevant with batters and is a statistical category used to measure a baseball player's effectiveness at the plate. So the pinch runner would be credited with 0 total bases. However, the run scored would be credited to the pinch runner.

No, BBCOR bats are not required for Travel Ball leagues. Travel Ball leagues are generally limited to bats bearing the USSSA stamp, but any bat that complies with the regulations may still be acceptable in some leagues.

A first baseman's glove is larger and it has more padding that a fielder's glove. This is to get the most reach possible to catch wild throws. The padding is because the fielders are throwing the ball as hard as they can so that they can get the ball to first base before the batter reaches the base.

Note: Gloves are used by for Fielders - Pitchers, Infielders, Outfielders because they have fingers like a glove. Mitts are used by Catchers and First Baseman positions because they don't have fingers, like mittens.

Softball was created by Ben Javitz on Thanksgiving of 1887 after a football game. after all of the bets were paid off, a couple of men grabbed a few boxing gloves and the handle of a broom and with chalk drew a diamond on the indoor football feild. there they rolled up a pair of old sox and played the first softball game. Of course this was Javitz's idea. although some people think it was pro baseball players that needed things to do in off season, that is not true! pros do have an off season but ar e always playing with a baseball! it

Good question. Generally speaking you have two different levels of baseball being play during Middle Schools. Most kids are playing Major Little League up until the age of 13. Which is generally up till the 6th grade. Once the kids are over 13 or the 7th grade they then play Junior Baseball. While a child is in the Majors the mound is 46 feet from home plate. Once they move up to the next level then the mound is 60 ft 6 in from home plate. Charles

In 1985, the UCLA Bruins won the College World Series. They did not go undefeated in this series. They finished their season 41-9.

baseball pants have two back pockets and a belt loop, softball pants have one or no back pockets, and have a string inside to tighten the waist or no string. Softball pants do NOT have a belt loop

It's called a full count according to my grandpa.
