No player including the catcher is allowed to block the base unless he has the ball. It would be defensive interference and the runner would be safe. The rule is generally not enforced if the ball and the runner arrive at the same time.
The reason home plate is somewhat different than second or third is because a runner does not need to remain on home plate where at second and third, overrunning the bag could allow the runner to be tagged out.
Any pitch from the pitcher that can not be caught by the catcher with reasonable effort.
Short answer: NO
40 feet for 11 and 12, 9 and 10 pitch 35 feet
The catcher is usually in foul territory when the pitch is thrown; although, legally, any player but the pitcher COULD be there.
This happens at the biginning of a game, and the pitcher must slowly pitch towrds the catcher, giving the visiting team an extra run/point if it is right.
when theres a base runner on a base.. the batter hits the softball and trys to get to a base while the base runner at 3rd or 2nd run home and get a point
Baseball is a over-handed pitch. Softball is a under-handed pitch
Jeez, first of all, you need to catch up on reading that rules book of yours! A strike is a pitch thrown by the pitcher and hits the catcher's glove so that the catcher doesn't have to move her/his glove at all. Or if the pitch is in the "strike zone", the umpire may also call it a strike.
Draw a softball pitch and label the following features.
Because a softball is heavier then a baseball.
An underarm throw in softball is basically a pitch. If you watch a fast pitch softball team, you will see that the pitcher pitches underhand.
The ball goes slower and there is more offense in the game.
