What is the difference between a softball mitt and a baseball mitt?

Construction is basically the same - softball gloves are just larger than Baseball gloves due to fact that softballs are bigger. Softball gloves tend to be 13" and bigger, and baseball gloves are less than 13".
If you play both softball and baseball and want to stick with just one glove, then buy a softball glove.

That's right - Construction and leather are the same (for respective models).
But Slowpitch have bigger pockets to accommodate 12" softballs are are typically designed for men's larger hands and fingers.
For Girls/Women's Fastpitch Softball Gloves, good gloves have slender fingerstalls to accommodate smaller finger and palms of girls and women. And they come in 11" to 13.5" sizes.

You could technically, but a softball would not fit in a baseball glove. The slit in a baseball glove is a lot smaller than the opening in a softball catcher's mitt. It would be very hard to actually catch the ball with a baseball catcher's mitt

How do you condition a softball mitt in the oven?
i never used an oven to break in my mitt but a very good way is to oil your glove (you can buy glove oil at almost any sporting goods store), put a softball in the web, rubberband it, stick it under your matress as you sleep. this will not work by just the first time, i did it to my glove about 3 times and i already felt a difference as i played.

Can a softball pitcher wear a glove on her pitching hand?
Yes, you can use a t ball mitt for softball. Many kids that use to play t ball still use there mitts however if it is getting small, get a softball mitt because the older they get the faster they throw and kids hands could get hurt. Softball mitts have padding in them so it will help protect there hands. There is nothing wrong with waiting!
