Answer 2

The size/texture of the ball which is bigger and harder, also softball is a women's sport!

Answer 3

the ball in softball is a big and soft and the ball in baseball is small and hard. Also, in softball you pitch under hand and in baseball you don't. There are a little rules that are different to.  

Answer 4

my brain hurts is right and wrong. I guess he was talking about slow pitch, but fast ***** has 9 players, 9 innings (7 for high school), and you can steal bases but you can't leave early either. The real competitive girls can pitch around 60-68 mph. The field is smaller, the pitching mound is level to the ground unlike a hill for baseball, the infield is all dirt, and the fences are closer. So there you go.

Answer 5

baseball and softball are obviously very similar but here are a few differences.

* softball pitchers pitch underhand

* the ball is bigger and NO its not soft! the leather is just thicker.

*softball infields are only dirt.

*softball bases are closer and you then play infield very close to the batter.

*while hitting there are a lot more variations in types of hits (bunt- drag, slap, surprise, etc.)

try watching a softball game on the olympics it will give you a better understanding

Answer 6

A baseball will put you in the hospital if it hits you in the face.  A softball hitting an outfielder is just plain funny.

Answer 7

baseball has alot bigger field then softball. (baseball- mound to plate is 60 ft, softball is 45 ft, baseball's base paths r 90 ft, softball is 60 ft ffrom base to base) also basebal pitchers throw overhand off a mound, softball pitchers throw underhand with no mound. finally, softball balls r bigger and a little softer/bouncier then baseballs which r smaller and a little harder

Answer 8

there are four people in the outfield instead of three, the bases are closer together, the ball is bigger, the people throw underhand and slower, and usually its for women and older men. there is fast pitch too!!

good luck with softball!!

Answer 9

theres no balls on the bench in softball

Answer 10

softball is a softer ball!

Answer 11

Of course the size of the ball. Softball has 10 players, 4 in the outfield, you can't steal bases, you have to stay on the base until the ball is pitched. It is 7 innings instead of 9. Pitching is underhanded, slow or fast pitch. The field is smaller. If you like baseball you will like softball too. Good luck on making the team.

Answer 13
