it depends how hard the pitch is coming or how hard the ball is hit but you have to have quick reflexes
There are nine players at a time on the field for fastpitch softball and ten for slow pitch softball
in baseball the pitcher is standing 66feet 6 inch from the plate in fastpitch the pitcher is standing 43 feet from the plate ,there is less reaction time for the fastpitch batter
Under 3 seconds is a good time.
9 on the field in fastpitch and 10 in slowpitch
all the way around the bases? 12 secs

A baseball Player must have asked this one... Reaction time is no different than in baseball. It all depends on if your batting fielding or whatever
Dh stands for designated hitter which simply is a person who takes the place a fielder when batting. A designated hitter does play in the field and most of the time are substituted for pitchers.

110 mph? No, probably not. Most of the top men's pitchers throw in the 80's. There have been some studies done, though, showing that a 85 mph fastpitch is like a 100 mph baseball pitch in terms of reaction time the hitter has. Remember in baseball, the pitcher is 60' 6" from home plate. In fastpitch, the pitching rubber is only 46 feet away, and many of the good pitchers leap towards home, so they are even closer by the time they release the ball. If 85mph doesn't sound fast to you, also consider they are throwing a 12" ball instead a 9" baseball. Some fastpitch hitters will tell you that it's harder to hit an 85mph fastpitch than a 100 baseball, because you have so little time to react. see http://www.iscfastpitch.com for information on their annual "World Tournament". It is the "World Series" of men's fastpitch.
