60 feet in 2008: 65 feet in 2009 all slow pitch senior leagues
Three. First base, second base and third base. Home plate is not a base.
Where you stand at to hit, is called home plate. The first base you run to is called 1st base. The next base is 2nd base. And the one after that is 3rd.
you can steal home plate, you can be on 3rd when it is bases loaded and you are forced to go to home plate or you can be on 3rd and run to home plate when the ball is hit
In terms of running the bases, it is 180 feet or 60 feet straight from one to another.
There are a total of 9 positions for softball. You have your catcher who is behing home plate, the pitcher, 1st base, 2nd base, 3rd base, shortstop ; who is in between 2nd and 3rd, then you have right field ; behind first base, center field ; behind 2nd base and left field behind 3rd base. Hope that helped :)
In baseball, when the batter hits the ball, he has to run to first base. First base is when he is safe, where he can not be tagged out by the ball. You can also steal base :) i play 12u softball I am a gall
when theres a base runner on a base.. the batter hits the softball and trys to get to a base while the base runner at 3rd or 2nd run home and get a point
Anything not inside the 1st and 3rd baselines and anything that hits home plate.
In softball, points are referred to as runs. To get a run, a batter must successfully make it the whole way around the bases back to home plate. This can be accomplished by hitting a homerun, stealing bases, or having other batters hit the ball while you are on a base.
Home plate's point faces the catcher. The opposite side is flat to the pitcher. Home plate also lies within the base paths whereas 1st, 2nd, and 3rd lie on the outside of the base paths. The pointy sides are the intersection of the 1st and 3rd base lines.
softball should have 1 plate umpire and 1 field umpire. the plate umpire covers home plate and third base . the field umpire covers first and second and catch or no catch.if he chooses to go out on a dificult catch play. in championship tournaments you will have 1 extra field umpire to be placed at 3rd base he calls fair or foul catch no catch the other field umpire is placed over 1st base and does the same. while calling the bases also..
There is no such thing as a commitment line
