Depends on how big their norks are.
about 52%
Professional softball players, of course, get paid. However, they do not earn nearly as much money as Major League Baseball players. The Olympic Team that will compete in Beijing this year does get paid, more than the professional softball players, but again, not as much as the average Major League Baseball player. For example, Jennie Finch drives a van, NOT a Ferrari.
not many
You do not have to play competitive softball to play in college. although it helps, most college coaches look for players from competitive teams. I would recommend it.
Many college and professional softball players can throw a fastball 60-70 mph.
Olympic sportsmen/women are amateurs they do not receive payment.
Professional softball players are paid less than professional baseball players because softball is not as popular as baseball. Baseball has a much bigger market in the economy, as proven by the baseball stadiums, playing cards, t-shirts, and hats. Because of all the profits that these things generate, they are able to pay their players more. Softball does not have this kind of publicity, and there for the money that flows into the organizations involved in the sport do not draw as much money either. Because they do not draw as much revenue as the baseball organizations, they are not able to pay their players as much as baseball players get paid.
The salary cap in professional softball keeps the range from $7000 to $17,000 per year.
