Softball batting involves hitting a pitched ball with a bat to score runs for a team. Players stand in a designated area called the batter's box and aim to make contact with the ball, which is typically pitched underhand. The goal is to hit the ball into the field of play, allowing the batter to run to base and potentially score. A good swing technique is essential for effective batting. Players focus on their stance, grip, and follow-through to maximize power and accuracy. Different types of softball bats are used, including aluminum and composite materials, each offering unique benefits for performance and durability.
