Softballs are yellow so that the players can easily see them. On cloudy days, a white ball is not easily seen, and this can cause injuries to players. It also makes it easier to locate balls in longer grass.

Also when it's dark out, some minor leagues play late at night and since they are minor leagues they share fields sometimes, so sometimes another team's game would be running late, so the other team would have to warm up where there aren't any lights.

It's yellow, simply because it's easier to see! It's bright, and catches your eye.
