Batting gloves don't help you hit the ball further. However they do increase the amount of grip you have on the bat and (for aluminum bats only) they reduce the sting if you hit a very fast pitch.

In softball, the speed of the incoming ball really doesn't vary all that much between fast pich and slow pitch. In baseball, the speed of the incoming ball - if it's a fast ball especially - has a great bearing on how far the ball will travel. So if the bat speed is good in either sport, in softball the hit will travel farther. In baseball, with the right pitch, the hit will travel much farther.
