Have you ever played softball? I usually prefer sports with more running.
I guess I played softball a couple of times years ago, but I think we switched to baseball in gym class.
I feel like those sports are basically the same thing except with different size balls.
I'd almost agree except for the pitching in women's fast pitch softball. The technique of the pitcher in that sport is quite dramatic.
Do you think it is more technically demanding than pitching in regular baseball?
I think it's apples and oranges. The underhand motion of the fastpitch throw is nothing like the baseball pitcher's throw. I will say though, I think fast pitch softball might be harder on the arm of the pitcher.
I think it might be harder on the shoulder but I suspect that regular pitching probably causes more elbow damage.
Makes sense. A friend of mine pitched in fast pitch in college. Her whole body is wrecked!
That's unfortunate. Getting older and starting to see your body break down is demoralizing sometimes.
It's true. My old body hasn't held up as well as my old Plymouth Valiant with a Chrysler slant 6.
