The fact that the ball is coming from the complete opposite angle is the main reason you can't hit it. It's a completely different swing. Trying to hit a softball the same as a baseball will not do the same thing as hitting a baseball.

Hell I'm usually on the side that women can not really compete with men in anything (an above average HS team could beat Baylor/UConn women's team). But I understand how hard it would be to hit a 65+ MPH pitch from that short of distance with crazy movement.

I know I couldn't get a hit off Jennie Finch, but I would hit Jennie Finch!

I have a 12 yo pitcher on my team that throws 56 mph from 40 feet with a lot of movement. I would bet a paycheck she strikes you out.

If they threw from sixty feet, six inches, it would be impossible for a softball girl to strike me out.

Here is the SS episode where a 95mph baseball pitcher goes against a Dbacks hitter and the hitter hits the ball just fine. Then he cannot even make contact once against a softball pitch.


Yet they never do a study where a softball player hits off a baseball pitcher. The release points and angle is why most baseball hitters fail against softball pitchers.

I remember watching an all star game or something of that nature and Jim Edmonds crushed the ball off of Jennie Finch

That was slow pitch dude

It was an all star game for fun. She was lobbing it underhand serving up Homerun balls to everyone including the non athlete celebs

Serious as a heart attack. I'm talking about women's collegiate softball to be specific. I think I could easily step in the box against a solid d1 female pitcher and rock one



And I am sure that you believe this.

She lives in Sulphur now.

I've seen that chick around. I can't help but think, "That's a huge bitch!" every time I see her.

She is hot though, obviously.

We should set this up.

Someone go meet this clown with a girl that can pitch. Just bring an average high school girl that can pitch.

I'd like to see the hilarity that ensues.
