College fastpitch pitchers average in the 70s. MLB players pitch in the 90s and occassionly top 100mph.

Usually, a high school athlete can run the bases between 11 and 16 seconds. 11 seconds is very fast and is held by the slapper of the team, most likely. 16 seconds is quite slow and is usually held by the power hitter on the team, although there are many cases where this does not hold.

A safety base is a double bag at first base. It looks like 2 bases setting next to each other and one is typically orange. This is used to avoid collisions between the runner and fielder.

In the duration of the war, in about the 1900s maybe the 1800s.

When the men were off to war, there was no baseball going on. So then they made a woman's baseball league. Later on, when the war was over, men took over baseball again, so then they made softball.

But remember there is no logical, physical explanation to the real game of softball, that's why they have this kind of softball...

The first softball game was played between Yale and Harvard alumni. On September 16, 1887, in Chicago, Illinois, George Hancock created the game.

The Yale and Harvard alumni had gathered at the Farragut Boat Club. They were there to hear the score of the annual football game. A Yale alumnus threw a boxing glove at a Harvard alumnus, who hit the glove with a stick. George Hancock had the boxing glove tied in a ball, and a broomstick handle was used as a bat. The final score of the game was 44-40, but the winner is unknown.

A week later, Hancock developed an undersized bat and a ball with a circumference of 16 inches to a baseball's 9 inches. The Farragut Boat Club came out with a set of rules for the game, which came to be known as 'Indoor-Outdoor'.

Softball gloves are made the same way Baseball gloves are. Companies like Akadema make both softball and baseball gloves. See video below on how gloves are made.

The difference is a baseball bat has a bigger barrel and its weight is different. The softball bat has a smaller barrel and can be lighter than a baseball bat with the same length. Baseball bats are also usually wooden while softball uses aluminum.

Mental toughness is one aspect in coaching that some coaches don't think they can train for. Little do others know that mental toughness should be part of training as well.

Teach your players confidence by giving them tough scenarios close to game situations. You can also teach them breathing techniques.


Mental training should be part of your training.

In most 10 and under age groups, the circumference is 11 inches. That would make the diameter 3.5 inches. From 12 and under until college softball, the circumference is 12 inches. That diameter would be 3.8 inches.

The runner is out he/she would have to be in foul territory and on the bag.

That Jon will score when the next batter hits a double.

Whatever kind of ball played, it is important for the fielder to always stay in front of the ball and must keep the ball at the center of the body. For ground balls, keep low and for fly balls be sure to be under the ball. Always cover the ball with your free hand as soon as it enters the gloves

9 players can be on the field during a fast pitch game. There are also two base coaches that are allowed in their respective base coach's boxes in the foul territory down the first and third baselines. There can also be 2 or 3 umpires on the field during play.

To bunt in softball, you square your body to the pitcher. Once the pitcher releases the bal you try to hit it within 3-4 feet in front of you.

Sometimes players bunt the ball to try to get on base. This is called bunting for a hit.

Most other times bunting is used to move other runners over to the next base. This is called a sacrifice bunt. If the batter is called out, the at bat is not counted in their batting average. It is counted as a "SAC."

A suicide squeeze is another way that the bunt is used. On the release of the pitch the runner at third base runs as if they are stealing the base. The runner at third base is trying to cross the plate before they are tagged out. This is also counted as a SAC if the batter is called out.

If it is its probably not that cheap && i'd go with a new one

When there isn't a runner behind them forcing them to run. For example, if a runner is on 2nd base but there is no one on 1st base, the runner must be tagged on their way to 3rd in order to get them out. However, if there IS a runner on 1st, the 3rd baseman can simply touch the base because it is a force out.

Joel Zumaya... 102MPH

^^ 104 MPH, and the fastest humanly possible pitch anyone can throw based upon physics, is 105 MPH. That's the thing about physics. The fastest pitch, recognized by MLB was by Cincinnati Reds lefty phenom Aroldis Chapman. He was clocked at 105.1 MPH on September 25, 2010 in San Diego.
