Slowpitch is a variation of softball where the ball is pitched at a slower speed, allowing batters more time to react. The game is typically played with a larger ball than standard baseball, and the pitching arc must be between 6 to 12 feet high. Teams usually consist of 10 players, and the game is played on a diamond-shaped field. Scoring occurs when players successfully run around four bases after hitting the ball. Slowpitch is popular for recreational leagues and is known for its emphasis on fun and social interaction rather than competitive intensity.
