It is shaped as a diamond.

First you can check your mechanics. See if you're using all parts needed to pitch in a synchronized and efficient manner. Next you can increase your power by starting on a conditioning program. Your conditioning program will start on general fitness and will progress to strength training then to power training.

If you're referring to home plate it is 17 inches wide and 17 inches from bottom to tip. The sides are 8 1/2 inches from the bottom to the angle leading to the tip and 12 inches along that angle.

when i watched softball championship i saw a girl pitch 64 mph so there you go

Eddie, the King, Feigner, of the world famous King and His Court was reputed to pitch a softball in excess of 120 m.p.h.

The "initial sack" refers tp 1st base. tje "keystone sack" refers to 2nd base.

A baseball is smaller than a softball, and a softball is made of softer material (hence the name). Pro baseball players get on ESPN, become famous and make millions. Pro softball players get on ESPN2 at 1 in the morning and no one knows their names.

What help would be needed? In fastpitch softball it is legal to hit a pitch that touchs the ground 1st. In slo-pitch, then the ruling should be a foul ball. ---- It is also completely legal in MLB and little league baseball as well.

In USSSA softball, if a pitched ball strikes the ground before crossing home plate not only can the batter legally hit the ball, but any runners on base may immediately leave their base and run toward the next base. If the batter does not swing and hit the ball, it is called a ball and the runners must return to their bases.

No, a wild pitch is a wild pitch -- it is considered a mistake charged to the pitcher.

An "error" in baseball is a fielding mistake. A pitcher can make an "error" but only on a batted or thrown ball.

There is no rule on the number of people allowed in the dugout. The rule states that only players, coaches, bat boys, managers, trainers, substitutes, & players on the disabled list are allowed in the dugout. Ejected players and coaches are not allowed to stay in the dugout.

The outfield wall between the left field foul line and the right field foul line is in fair territory. All other walls are in foul territory.

I read somewhere that Gary Boyea of Middlefield, CT hit a ball 398 feet out of Coginchaug High School Baseball field. The field has dimensions 317 down each line and 368 to straight away center field. The ball used was a Gold Dot.

There are a lot of softball coaching tips. Here are a few:

- Keep things simple when teaching skills. Too often, coaches make things complicated.

- Stay positive with your athletes - this will help build confidence.

- Challenge your players with good drills and competitions. Athletes love to be challenge.

- Spend a lot of time on hitting, pitching, fielding, and throwing. These are the core skills of the game.

- Spend some time teaching baserunning too. So many players don't know how to run bases properly.

For additional tips, check the link below.

Golf balls must weigh less than 45.93g and have a diameter greater than 42.67mm.

A cricket ball has to weigh between 155.9g and 163g, and have a circumference between 22.4cm and 22.9.

The cricket ball is bigger.

I don't know what the "legal" umpire answer would be, but I do know that fastpitch bats are made lighter so they can be swung quicker. It seems like you would want to use a slowpitch bat in slowpitch for the extra power you would get from the extra weight of the bat.

There is no rule against it as long as the bat is an approved bat in the league you are playing in, i.e. ASA, USSSA, ISA, NSA.

The base paths measure 3 feet on each side of the runner. When a runner changes direction, like if they were in a pickle, then a new base path is determined from that point in a straight line to the bases. This is to prevent girls from running all over the field to avoid being tagged out.

if the run scores from third before the runner at 2nd is declared out the run stands if not then no run....i.e. in anything highschool level and under to little league a startegy its to get into a rundown in between 1st and 2nd allowing the runner from third to score

A smushball is a softer ball used for hitting drills. Much like a stressball only it seems more durable, the balls are used indoors or outdoors, in the rain, in the wind etc. They can be used to hit against fences and cause no damage. They are a good alternative to whiffle balls, which tend to break easier. The origin of smushballs came in 2004, when a father, Troy Mohrman in Utah had shoulder surgery and could not throw baseballs at the time to his son (Joseph) or his son's team. He used the smaller, golf ball size whiffle balls which worked except in the wind and they could break. He then discovered a heavy duty stress ball and started trying that and from there developed the smushball as he says you can smash them or crush them. The team used them from then on and the original case three years ago is still being used. The team used them prior to games, at practices etc and attribute winning their local state Pony championship on their hitting, where as a team, the average was over .500! The balls were also used with softball teams. Smushballs are now used in over half the United States and more information can be found at www.smushballs.com

No player including the catcher is allowed to block the base unless he has the ball. It would be defensive interference and the runner would be safe. The rule is generally not enforced if the ball and the runner arrive at the same time.

The reason home plate is somewhat different than second or third is because a runner does not need to remain on home plate where at second and third, overrunning the bag could allow the runner to be tagged out.

Well you could argue that women need a bigger ball to hit or another possibility and probably the most likely is the fact that throwing a smaller ball completely underhand would do nothing so they need a bigger ball to get more pitch movement
