Adult Men’s Softball... Wood Bats???

I didn't know there were wood bat leagues either. Sounds awesome. I'd love to play in one.

I've subbed for a friend a few times when he can't make it and his team is undermanned. He plays in the lowest skill level league at this complex and I legitimately fear killing a 3rd baseman. It's been a blast, though.

Bat technology has made softball really boring for me. We had a mens and coed team that played four games a week from April through October for twelve years. At some point where every male player could hit it over a fence (325 and 350 to center) at will and even the ladies could hit to the deep outfield it became just a slugfest.

You can't buy a $300 glove.

Sorry you're old.

But really, with the bats they produce today it doesn't take much to hit it over.

im 21. Your right it doesn't take much to hit it over.. a 300 foot fence a NORMAL softball field. I'm just calling out the guy who said he played on a team full of guys who constantly hit the ball over a 350 foot ball park and girls hitting deep flyouts on a 350 foot field. Think about that girls hitting softballs over 300 foot? Gtfoh

We play in about 325 ft fields at City Park Quad in NOLA

It’s a good mix where there’s a HR every game or so.

My brother plays on a legit team and I think they smash like crazy, but I don't think it's like everytime like that guy is saying.

I played with a guy who played got the Astros back in the day and he smashed it every single time.

I'm not saying every hit was a homerun, but the bats make every guy capable in a competitive league. The limit is reached, and then a couple of accidentals every single game.

im playing softball right now. I play usssa softball every weekend and I play league ball. I know how hot the bats are and I've played against teams that could absolutely mash.tons of ex college ball players and I've even seen will middlebrooks hitting softballs (former big leaguer) and he hit them put alot... on. 300 foot fields your right the home runs are always used on a regulation sized field but not on a fricking baseball field.

I better alert the city the fields they use are outside official dimensions

either you're moron and the fields are actually normal sized (most likely) or your straight up lying.

It is amazing to watch. Must be amazing watching this guys league team with girls who can hit it 325

300 sure, but that extra 25 feet is what makes it unbelievable.
