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.

What is the difference in fast pitch and slow pitch softball?
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.

Are slow waves higher in pitch than fast waves?
Not necessarily. The frequency of a wave is equal to the speed divided by the wavelength so if it is fast and has a low wavelength then it will be high pitched. If it has a very large wavelength though it will have a lower pitch.
