Did you know...?
Are you ready for the season? The players sure are, especally those cocky baseball players! One of those boys even bet ME that the Varsity boys team will finish its season with a better record that the Varsity softball team....its the easiest 10 bucks ive ever made!
So, you're a big bad baseball player, and you think that hitting a softball would be a piece of pie. PEACH pie. Well buddy, you're wrong. Below is a chart (thank you Kings College Lady Monarchs Softball Page) that gives you the baseball equivalent of a softball pitch, including the time you have to react. DAAAAMN!

This means that you would have to throw 98 MPH from a baseball pitchers mound to equal a 70 MPH pitch from a softball pitchers mound. Fastpitch Softball, nothing soft about it!
