How do you compare softball pitching speed to baseball pitching sped?

Speed is based on distance traveled in a given amount of time. Baseball uses a distance of 60 feet 6 inches from the pitching rubber to home where as softball is 43 feet. A ball that would cover 43 feet in 1/2 a second is traveling just over 58 mph while a ball covering 60 feet 6 inches in the same time is traveling 82.5 mph. You need to know 2 of the following 3 ; distance, speed, or time. If you know distance and time then the formula is speed=distance/time.
If you know the speed and distance then use time=distance/speed, get that number then use previous formula and change distance to get comparison.

Which is harder to hit baseball pitches or softball pitches?
WELL IF YOU WATCH SPORT SCIENCE THAN IT TELLS YOU THAT SOFTBALL IS HARDER THAN BASEBALL. JENNIE FINCH BROKE BULLET PROOF GLASS BUT THE BASEBALL JUST BOUNCED OFF THE GLASS. The softball is not harder than a baseball it may be bigger but the softball is not that hard! i play softball and i know that a softball is not harder than a baseball because i got hit with a softball and it didn't hurt as much as the baseball.....and the people who were pitching pitched the exact same speed! so there u have it a baseball IS HARDER than a softball!!!! Yes it is a fact that baseballs are harder than softballs because they are wound tighter. It may be a smaller ball but it is solid. softballs are rubber with string wrapped around it so they fly almost 200 ft less than a baseball will.
Does a baseball or a softball goes further if you hit it from the same distance?
no, thethe gravity of a baseball is bigger than a softball's. so baseball has more friction than softball. hence, if you hit both of them from the same speed ,baseball will go further than softball.
How does pitching speed affect batting distance?
In 18 U Gold softball and collegiate softball, the distance from the plate to the pitching mound is 43 feet. This is because the pitchers at these levels throw much faster than the pitchers in the lower levels. In high school at 14U - 18U the pitching distance is 40 feet. Notice there is a difference between 18U and 18U Gold level.

Because it's harder and smaller and will therefore have less wind resistance when thrown.
Are pitching machines dangerous for young softball players?
Pitching machines can be dangerous if not used properly, as with many things. Make sure the batter wears protective clothing, especially a helmet. You should be able to adjust the speed of the pitches as well, or use a slower-speed batting cage.

Well if you throw a bowling ball and a golf ball, which is gonna go faster?
What is a hypothsis for the question what goes farther a baseball or a softball?
My hypothesis is that the baseball will indeed go farther. To explain why well because it is smaller so it will gain more speed. While a softball is big it will not gain as much speed but could be hit far as well. thank you.
Is it easier to hit a softball than to hit a baseball?
