One good thing to check on is your grip. Having the proper grip on the seam will help on the rotation on the ball. Your wrist snap will help as well.
because of the kinetic energy ( the energy of motion) in hitting, pitching, running, and fielding.!! SOFTBALL RULES!!!
a pitcher throws a softball under hand in a circular motion
A softball pitch is a lot harder to master than a baseball pitch because the motion is so different than regular throwing. However, once the pitcher has the motion down, the softball pitch is much easier on the body than a baseball pitch. This is because the softball pitch is a lot smoother than the violent baseball pitch. It cause a lot less shoulder injuries than a baseball pitch.
The two types of softball are: Slowpitch- which is where the picture kind of lunges and tosses the ball underhand Fastpitch- unlike slowpitch, the pitcher actually jumps/leaps forwards, and does a complete circle motion with their arm. These pitchers are quite a bit faster than slow pitch- the average speed is probably around 55-60 mph for high school level players.
nonmechanical
Yes, softball involves Newton's first law of motion, also known as the law of inertia. This law states that an object will remain at rest or in uniform motion unless acted upon by an external force. In softball, when a player hits the ball or throws a pitch, the ball will continue to move in a straight line at a constant velocity unless acted upon by a force such as gravity, air resistance, or contact with another object. Understanding this law can help players predict and control the trajectory of the ball during gameplay.
yes..."As a softball flies through the air, the air pushes back against it, resisting its motion and decreasing the distance the ball travels."...that is why
In baseball, the ball is released at higher point (shoulders) in a downward motion. In softball, the ball is released at a lower location (the hip) in a straight motion.A softball mound is raised up about a 1/2 inch to help the pitcher push off.
If you grip a softball differently, sometimes it will change the motion. F First of all, it changes the spin. The spin can effect possibly where it goes, and the speed. So if you are looking to make the ball go slightly faster, throw a little harder, and maybe change your grip
Increase, increase
The acceleration of the softball is 50 m/s^2. This is calculated by dividing the force applied (25 N) by the mass of the softball (0.5 kg), using Newton's second law of motion (F=ma).
The increase in ground motion is tenfold for each increase of 1 on the Richter scale. This means that if the magnitude increases by 1, the ground motion will be ten times greater.
