What do you prefer, pitching or catching?

Question

i want to play softball but i dont know which spot to play in! HELP!!!!!

Answer 1

im a freshman in hs and i play for varsity for the #3 ranked team in the state...i play both...make sure you dont play both positions in a single game..ur elbow will be gone pitching is great cuz every situation is controlled by what you do and catching is fun cuz u r in control of everything

Answer 2

try catching or 1 base

Answer 3

Catching, you call all the shots, the plays, the pitches, and the position of the outfield.  If you can handle pressure, and like calling shots then go for catcher.  

Answer 4

Pitching. Catching's brutal on your knees.  

Answer 5

I prefer catching but that is just my opinion. Do what you want, not what we want.

Answer 6

Pitching, Because You Can Figit On The Mound.

Answer 7

Actually both positions hurt, the pitchers arm and elbow and the catcher has problems with his knees,hands and feet. I guess I'd pick pitching.  

Answer 8

catching because you're in on the action from the first pitch to the last.

Answer 9

I prefer pitching just because the speed and course of the game is in your hands. If the pitcher does a bad job the whole team suffers.

Answer 10

Pitching. its easier

Answer 11

I myself am a Catcher and I love it.  But like louis said, it is hard on the knees.  However it is very fun being involved in every throw.  You have to be very content and have good stamina and be able to move all over the place to block balls and things like that.  But i play baseball and thats my opinion.

Answer 12

ther catcher is in control of almost the entire game. the pitchers may switch out but the catcher is in there the whole game, telling the pitcher what to actually throw. they guard the only plate that matters in the game and and have a lot more on their shoulders than the fielders. if the pitcher makes a bad throw and you stop it from going past you, that might save a run. catchers definitely dont get enough credit for all that they do.
