Slowpitch is a variation of softball where the ball is pitched at a slower speed, typically with an arc. This allows players to have more time to react and hit the ball, making it a popular choice for recreational leagues and casual play. The game is played with similar rules to traditional softball, including bases, innings, and scoring. In slowpitch, teams usually consist of 10 players, and the game emphasizes teamwork and strategy. Unlike fastpitch, where pitchers throw the ball quickly, slowpitch focuses on hitting and fielding skills. This makes it accessible for players of all ages and skill levels.
