Pitcher

If a player in on first and the batter hits the ball and the team on defense touches second before the runner gets there, it’s called a force out. The batter gets three strikes to hit the ball, a strike is when you bat but miss the ball. If the pitcher throws a bad ball that you cannot hit, it’s called ball. If you get four balls then you get to walk to first without getting out or having to bat. When batting, if you hit the ball down towards third or first and it goes across the line it is…

Trust me, we thought we were a complete blowout. 7 months earlier It’s February 2018, we just started our season, but our old coach stopped coaching us last year. Also…

Leeman Bennett once said, “A winner is someone who sets their goals, commits themselves to those goals and then pursues their goals with all the ability that God has given them. That requires someone who believes in himself or herself, who will make self-sacrifices, work hard, and maintain the determination to perform at the best of their ability” (“Running”). This is the mind set of every great softball player, and in order to have this mind set, players must acknowledge and appreciate the…

chance. The score was 3-0, Giants. I was the little girl amongst boys. As I finally built up the courage to step into the box, that’s when I heard it. The pitcher made the biggest mistake anyone could have made at that moment. He said, “Girls can’t hit. They’re stupid.” I felt the anger build up inside me, as I confidently glared at the pitcher. ‘Not this time’ I thought. ‘Not this time’. The…

next; he hadn’t had a good day – his only time up to bat he struck out looking. The Bomber’s pitcher was playing with him shaking off pitching signals, but Wyatt hung in and watched the first ball bounce off the plate.

The pitcher nodded after getting a new signal from the catcher and a 78 mph fast ball flew over the plate…

different. Starting off with the pitching distance of the two. In baseball a pitcher stands on top of a mound and aims at a downward angle. The pitcher has to put more motion and velocity into his throw because he is 60 feet away from the plate rather the 40 feet as it is in softball. Pitchers in baseball have different motions and as a hitter it is sometimes difficult to adjust to those different motions. In softball all pitchers have one motion and that is the underhand motion. Very often…
