No difference except softball is for girls with a softer, bigger ball.
They are practically the same. I've played both, the only difference is the pitching, the size of the ball, the size of the bats, and if you are playing for leagues or school then boys play baseball and girls play softball.
softball was originally started as an easy baseball game. no gloves needed. it has turned into the equivalent to baseball. just with a bigger ball. most baseball players have trouble playing softball
A baseball is smaller than a softball, and a softball is made of softer material (hence the name). Pro baseball players get on ESPN, become famous and make millions. Pro softball players get on ESPN2 at 1 in the morning and no one knows their names.

Softball is an edited version so that it can provide more defensive work, and more offensive strategy like playing 'small ball'
The fundamentals are catching, throwing, hitting, and baserunning. I would also consider playing position as a fundamental in softball because there is a proper way of executing the playing positions on the field.
Softball bats are designed to hit softballs. Hitting a baseball with a softball bat may damage the bat. Either hit a softball or get a baseball bat if you do not want to risk damaging your bat.
An official baseball is 5 oz. and an Official Softball is 6.8oz.

for entertainment, and because the men who played baseball were away at war.
Baseball is not called softball. The game of softball is called softball because the ball used is softer than a baseball.
A baseball outfielder glove is usually 12 1/2 to 12 3/4 inches from the tip of the index finger to the heel of the glove. A softball outfielder glove is usually 13 1/2 to 14 inches from the tip of the index finger to the heel of the glove. Since a softball is larger than a baseball, a softball glove will be larger than a baseball glove. However, this doesn't mean that you can't use a baseball glove for playing softball. It just means that you will have less margin of error when catching the softball because of the smaller pocket a baseball glove has.
