Catcher

Slow-pitch softball is a much safer and easier game to play. The players barely get any injuries. Some girls will be able to hit a ball at a slower speed much easier. Slow-pitch is very popular in recreational leagues throughout the United States. A different name for slowpitch is “Lob Ball” (Softball: Slow-Pitch). There are more players on the field that gives less space to cover. It’s well suited for age group competition (Softball: Slow-Pitch). The pitch is much more different and easier to…

can throw a baseball at over ninety mph they would be able to throw even faster and they would be able to throw people out anywhere. A huge concept too would be if the bases were sixty feet apart just about anyone could steal a base. Yet, if the catcher being of major league ability could throw out fast runners with a bigger diamond he could probably do that with about anyone running on a softball field. The pitchers would be able to throw much faster than before, most if not all would reach…

like that!” When I heard that, I instantly opened my eyes and saw that I had made a low strike. Delighted by what had happened, I decided to focus just on myself in order to not feel any pressure. Furthermore, the entire game felt like if me and the catcher were the only ones playing; everyone else was not there. What I felt in that game, was a feeling of contentment I had never felt before. I never imagined that learning how to pitch was going to bring me great…

I never expected something bad to happen that day. It was my parents anniversary night, May 11th, 2017, and of course, I had a softball game. We knew that the opposing team was better than us, but we still played hard, until the accident, that is when everything fell apart. My parents anniversary night was on one of my last home games of the season, but not the teams. Our game was at the Hyatt Elementary softball/baseball fields. The team, coaches, and parents knew that we were going to…

Any sport takes time to master, you must understand the general concept of the game, but more importantly how to actually take part and play in the game. You can not just learn one part you need to learn all parts of the game. I know exactly what this process is like. Softball is a game that has many skills you must come close to perfecting if you want to be successful. The time and patience it takes can be frustrating, but will always pay off in the end. Before you can take part in playing the…

I switched between catcher and third base in town ball. The girls that had been on the team last year mostly took up the infield, so I was stuck out in left field whenever I was played. It taught me how to show support for my teammates, even when I’m not getting much ball action…

Title: Never Giving Up Softball Have you ever played a sport and you felt like your team would never win a game? Well that is what the whole 8th grade varsity felt like by the end of the softball season. I first started playing softball because my dad played in our church league. One game he shattered his knee so he couldn’t play any more. When I watched the games, I thought it would be fun to try. So when I was six years old my dad signed me up for SVGSA (Spokane Valley Girls Softball…

Every time that I run my fingers along the raised stitches of a softball, I think back to the time I played softball. My fingers needed to be in an exact position on the stitches in order for me to throw the perfect pitch. It’s a chapter of my life that doesn’t bring back all happy memories. I spent six years of my life being a star, and I’ll admit it. I had extreme talent when it came to playing softball. It was like I was born for the game. Everything came so naturally to me. But I wasn’t born…

Baseball might be a complicated sport with a lot of rules and a lot of players; some people might even call it boring. But to me is a sport full of action and really tough plays where most of the action takes place at the home plate. This is because here stands the batter waiting anxiously for the pitcher to deliver the pitch, so he can try to hit it. In television those professional players make it seem very easy to hit the ball and do home runs, yet in real life a person can have some trouble…

Personal Narrative It was noon and I was at my house. My friend name was bobby. Bobby had dark hair and was wearing a white plain t shirt. We were playing a game we both made up. It was kinda like baseball. We play in the front yard. There was some grass and concrete of the driveway.The First base was next to the fence. The second base was next to the driveway. The third base was next to the neighbor driveway. The game was like kickball but with baseball. But you don’t have to kick the ball.…
