Slow Pitch
Slow Pitch is a variation of softball where the ball is pitched underhand at a slower speed, typically between 6 to 12 miles per hour. This allows batters more time to react and hit the ball, making it a popular choice for recreational leagues and casual play. The game is played on a diamond-shaped field with bases similar to baseball.
In Slow Pitch, teams usually consist of 10 players, and the game emphasizes hitting and scoring runs. Unlike fast-pitch softball, where pitchers throw the ball quickly and with more spin, slow pitch focuses on strategy and teamwork, making it accessible for players of all skill levels.
