Is softball pitching faster than baseball?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Fastpitch softball involves throwing the ball faster and straighter than slow pitch. In slowpitch, the ball is generally thrown higher and slower and more like a blooper. it can be harder to hit a line drive with slow pitch rather than fastpitch because you are it at an up ward angle. In fastpitch you are to swing straight.

Answer 3

A fast pitch has the potential to be hit further than a slow pitch. Presuming the bat speed and squareness of contact are identical in hitting a fast pitch and slow pitch, the fast pitch will be hit further because in a nearly elastic collision more momentum will be returned from the fast pitch than the slow one resulting in a longer hit. In general a fast pitch is more difficult to hit than a slow one though which means the odds of making perfect contact are far lower.

Answer 4

not typically.. the softball is bigger than the Baseball and is thrown underhand, typically making it slower. -Yes, throwing underhand is not as fast as a baseball pitch. But, in softball you have less time to react to the ball than you would in baseball. So technically softball.

Answer 5

yes, if a ball is thrown hard its going to go farther than a ball thrown softer. simple physics - for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. if the ball is hit well enough the ball will come off the bat faster than the pitch as well

Answer 6

Softball pitches have been measured at faster than the record baseball pitch of 104 mph.

Answer 7

Beacuse a softball is harder, so a baseball is bouncier, and thus it goes farther.

Answer 8

there are many types of ways to play softball. there is slow pitch and fast pitch. tee ball and coach pitch but fast pitch is where they go in a hole wind up and pitch the ball to the hitter.
