if the umpire is inside the base path, then it is a dead ball... no pitch --- if the umpire is outside the base paths then it is a live ball
9 players can be on a softball team, cause there is only 9 positions. Catcher, Pitcher, 1st base, 2nd base, 3rd base, short stop, Left field, Center Field, and Right Field. But u can have more than 9 as many as u want. I know I play on a softball team
10. # Pitcher # Catcher # 1st base # 2nd base # Shortstop # 3rd base # left field # right field # center field # and last but not least short field
3rd, shortstop, 2nd base, 1st base, left field, centerfield, and right field
A baseball field is larger and it has a pitching mound. A softball field has an extended first base to protect the fielder and runner.
There are a total of 9 positions for softball. You have your catcher who is behing home plate, the pitcher, 1st base, 2nd base, 3rd base, shortstop ; who is in between 2nd and 3rd, then you have right field ; behind first base, center field ; behind 2nd base and left field behind 3rd base. Hope that helped :)
