They are both very similar especially in fastpitch, the differences come in the various rules such as a runner cannot leave base until the ball has left the pitchers hand, the dimentions are smaller 60 feet vs. 90ft between bases and 43 feet to the mound vs 60. The bats are different since Baseball uses wood(mlb) or aluminum (college) that are tapered where softball uses a barrel style bat and are all either aluminum or composite.Slap bunting rules are the same for both but used more often in softball. Substitution rules are basically the same except in softball there is a dp or designated player who hits only, a defo. who can play only defense if opted by the coach, where in mlb the al. has adopted a similer rule called the designated hitter but in the nl. the pitcher must hit for himself, or be substituted. 1. Round ball. 2. Four bases. 3. Same bats. 4. Same positions(maybe not the same number, like outfielders) That,s all unless you include a crowd and some of the dimensions of the field.

What is the difference between softball and baseball scoring?
There is a main difference between softball and baseball. First... obvious softball is played with a bigger ball. SEcond, is that the pitcher pitches underhand in softball and over hand in baseball. Many people or at least guys believe that baseball is better than softball, its more traditional and has been around longer. WEll i tell you what, softball is just as hard if not harder than "baseball". Softball goes alot quicker too. Ok, let me refraise my self, fast-pitch softball is at least as hard if harder. However, slo-pitch softball is not hard ot play while it does require skill, it does not require fast hand eye coordination when hitting the ball. Someone who goes from hitting the ball at 60 mph+ some to hitting the ball at 20 mph or less will prob miss the ball 8 out of 10 times for swinging too fast. Thus concluding that there are major yet minor differneces between softball and baseball, and which one is better is up to you... just depends on basically what sex you are, or what you basic opinion of the matter is. I am not trying ot be sexist, just statin the facts. ====================== The pitching for softball is always under hand. In baseball, the pitching is over hand. There is a fast pitch and a slow pitch in softball.
