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.
The ball goes slower and there is more offense in the game.
Technically you just do the same thing you do in fast pitch except you must be patient and not try to slam the ball. you keep your eye on the ball and when it gets about the right height then you hit it and run. it's easier to place the ball when you hit a slow pitch ball.
its pretty much the same except that the ball is comming at you 10xs faster and you REALLY have to watch the ball It's pretty self-explanatory. In fast-pitch, the ball comes at you faster. In slow-pitch, the ball is coming at you slower.
Yes there many cties that have teams and leauges that have fast -ball in softball, for men
'Change up' is another name for a 'slow ball'. Where a fast ball may be thrown around 90 or so MPH, a change up would be thrown in the 75-80 MPH range. It is thrown with the same motion as a fast ball and is used to fool the batter into swinging early at the pitch.
Hitting a home run off a fast pitch is easier because the ball travels faster, allowing hitters more time to generate power and connect with the ball. Additionally, fast pitches have more velocity, which increases the momentum of the ball when hit, making it travel farther.
Generally, a 90 MPH fast ball for an MLB pitcher is considered good. There are some that can throw in the upper 90s and, in the 2006 World Series, Joel Zumaya was clocked at 103 MPH.
In fast pitch, a runner can attempt to steal as soon as the ball has left the pitcher's hand.
