Is it harder to hit a baseball or a softball?

Answer 1

a Baseball is smaller so to me it would be harder to hit and it comes at you at like 90 mph and its not underhand so it would be way harder

That's absolutely wrong. Softballs are bigger than the bat is so you have to get just the right angle on it when you hit it to get a solid hit. Baseballs however are smaller than the bat so when you hit it you have a 70% chance it will hit the ball at a good angle. Also baseballs are thrown down, but softballs are thrown level. it is a proven fact that it is easier to lower your bat than it is to raise it. As for the speed difference, baseball pitchers are 66.6 ft away (correct me if I'm wrong) softball pitchers are only 45 ft away. it has been tested that a 60 mph pitch in softball is equivalent to a 90mph pitch in baseball. so therefore hitting a softball is much harder.

Answer 2

No they are about the same. Except for the fact that the ball is bigger in softball and easier to hit but it won't go as far.

Answer 3
