About the players
Softball can be played by boys and girls. Many female players where sliding shorts to protect their legs when sliding. Females use a different bat than baseball players, for fast pitch while males use slow pitch bats. Softball is not girly at all. It is my favorite sport.
Getting to base
The pitcher pitches the ball and you hit the ball, you run to the bases all around home run! You can get to the base 2 ways either a hit or a walk. a walk is when they pitch 4 balls to you then you just walk to base.
the Pitcher
The pitcher is the main part of the game. They pitch the game. They get the hits they make the game what it is. The pitcher pitches underhand and try to pitch it to the strike zone. They have the most important roll.
softball
This is a softball. It is a hard big ball that is used in every second of the game. Softballs are was bigger than baseballs so getting hit with one is bad and will hurt very much.
Batting
Batting is not as easy as it seems. Yeah i know the ball is big and its a larger target but its fast pitch so it can be difficult.
Pitching
Pitching is way different in baseball and softball. In softball they pitch underhand and its more of a fast pitch
