Grown men playing slow pitch softball...we need to discuss Considering girls don't even play slow pitch anymore, I think it's time for grown men who decide to play slow pitch needs to have their man card taken away immediately. Just left a softball complex, 9 and 10 year girls were playing fast pitch, on the field right next to them, there were grown arse men playing slow pitch If you gonna play, man up and fast pitch....or dare i say, just simply play baseball Rant over


I agree with this

players can hit the ball anywhere on the field they want and with the homer limits, it becomes a game of constant singles.


This is exactly my point and it's funny people are defending this

Girls have come to the conclusion that slow pitch softball isn't competitive it all. So they've moved on. Anybody can hit a huge watermelon tossed underhanded.

Not knocking playing the sport, just make it more competitive. As I said, if 10 year girls feel as though slow pitch is too easy, grown men should too.

Slow pitch softball is badass. Although, they do need to move the fricking fences back. A can of corn goes out with the new bats and balls.

i would have to see it to believe it; the thing about it is that the distance from the rubber to the plate is real short compared to hardball. readings on cheap guns are very suspect. i seriously doubt anyone, even pros could make the turn and hit a ball coming at over 100mph from such a short distance. what is it 50 feet? or even less. now, i have heard some people that make "conversions" and quote numbers that convert the true pitch speed in softball to what it would be in hardball.
