That’s my point. …
That’s my point. Softball, while fine, isn’t as great a sport as baseball. Do you get it? Baseball is the harder sport, at the top levels with better athletes.

Please everyone, it …
Please everyone, it is highly recommended for your own health that you do not read fjccommishes comments. You will become stupider by the minute, and I dont even think stupider is a word…SEE WHAT I MEAN? A softball pitcher isn’t going to go and throw a smaller ball overhand because that is not softball, it is baseball. Softball pitchers throw underhand with a bigger ball. It is not something that can just be tranfered over to baseball because in baseball PITCHERS THROW OVERHAND!!! GET IT??

I feel like i’m talking to a 6 year old, fccommish. A softball pitcher is not going to run to the MLB because the MLB is not softball. Notice how the pitcher pitches underhand? So, why would a softball pitcher go and throw overhand, when her entire career is based on throwing a bigger ball underhand? Do you get it? A softball pitcher can’t just automatically change and go to a completely different pitching motion, not to mention an unatural overhand motion.

I didn’t say it’s the same. I didn’t say it’s horrible. I said it’s lesser.

I went to pitching clinic last year and have been having trouble pitching this summer in my softball league (it’s my first year pitching). This does help a little bit for some simple reminders. Thanks for uploading! (:

“female athletes …
“female athletes are no different than male athletes”. Wow, see now I can tell that you are just some punk kid on here, and have never studied kinesiology or any aspect of science in relation to sport. You don’t know what your talking about. You have nothing to back up your theory that hitting a baseball is harder than hitting a softball, whereas I have shown you the proof. YouTube search: FSN Sport Science Episode 7 Jennie Finch. Its all there buddy. What else can I prove you wrong with today?

Nope. The better …
Nope. The better athletes play baseball, and it is harder to hit a baseball than a softball. Female athletes are no different than male athletes, they may be on average not as strong, but can achieve the same endurance, coordination, and I bet a woman who played baseball instead of softball could be a good offensive and defensive player, even if she didn’t hit for as much power as the average male player.

you can’t say that …
you can’t say that MLB baseball players are better athletes than softball players, because as I said before you cannot compare male athletes to female athletes. They do not have the same structures. Sure MLB players are the best of the best in there own sport, as are softball players on national teams the best in their sport and of their own sex. They are both elite athletes, in the best shape they can possibly be, but its insane if you are trying to compare male athletes to female athletes.

You are comparing …
You are comparing male athletes with female athletes now, not baseball verses softball. You can’t compare the two, they are not the same. Of course a female does not have the same strength as a male, they are built differently. What you can’t argue with, and what I have been trying to get across this whole time is that is is more difficult to hit a softball then it is to hit a baseball, and I have proven that point. We are not arguing male verses female, you can’t compare them to one another.
