Fastpitch is a form of softball where the ball is thrown at high speeds, typically exceeding 60 miles per hour. Players pitch the ball using an underhand motion, which allows for a variety of pitches, including fastballs, curves, and change-ups. The game is played on a diamond-shaped field with bases, similar to baseball, and consists of two teams competing to score runs. In Fastpitch, each team takes turns batting and fielding. The objective is to hit the pitched ball and run around the bases to score runs. The game is popular at various levels, including youth leagues, high school, and collegiate competitions, with the NCAA hosting a prominent championship each year.
