Everyone makes mistakes. What differentiates some people from others is what they learn from those experiences. Softball — like baseball — is a game of failure. Many times, the top hitters in the sport fail more often than they succeed at the plate. Because all she has to do is get really good at dribbling the ball on the ground and she can beat out a throw from any infielder at will.
It's not really a bunt, it's not really hitting away, it's called slapping. And, from a slightly sadistic point of view, it's really fun to watch teams think a leftie is just a slapper and then drive the ball to deep right-center field or off a charging third baseman's ear and scamper around the bases while outfielders chase the ball to the fence. The slap game has made softball an extremely dynamic, offensive game.
Each year some of the nation's fastest players routinely hit for averages greater than. Ichiro's been close and he's the closest thing to a slapper in baseball , but you have to go back to Ted Williams in for that in pro baseball. The slap game has revolutionized fastpitch and has become a favorite facet of the game for those who follow it. Think of it as a bit of an antidote for all those great weapons the pitcher has.
And, the No. We know otherwise. Hitting a softball is the hardest thing to do in sports. A pitcher stands in a circle not a mound 43 feet from a batter when she starts her delivery and, since most of the great ones seem to be at least six feet tall, they feel like they're on top of you as the ball is pitched and a hitter having a reaction to a particular pitch is often as much luck as it is skill.
It has been scientifically proven that the softball hitter has less time to react to a pitch, because of the distance and the velocity, than does the baseball hitter. In No. Add to that the fact that, because of the way a softball is delivered, the ball make break up as much as it can down.
The pitch that moves up is called a rise ball and the best coaches in the game say the only way to hit a rise ball is not to even try. Imagine a ball coming toward the strike zone of the plate that suddenly jumps up? Sure, you see a great "breaking ball" that goes down or moves across the plate in baseball, but how often does it just leap up above the plane of the bat?
And, yes, softball pitchers can break the ball down that's called a drop and they throw both a true curve that breaks away from a hitter or screw ball that breaks into a hitter. Oh, yes, and the really good ones throw that bloody change-up that can make a hitter feel so foolish. So, the softball pitcher uses all four quadrants of a plate, uses both an up and a down pitch and changes speeds on a hitter. It requires players to understand their strengths and weaknesses. This way, they can work on building up those weaknesses as well as their strengths.
Teammates can help players work on their self-confidence. That self-confidence especially for female athletes will show them that they can be successful in a variety of circumstances.
It also teaches them to support their teammates, no matter what the situation. In our busy worlds, there is little time for adults to get together and play. During softball games, adults get to spend time in the sun, catching and throwing, running, and hitting. There are not too many other opportunities for adults to get out and play in the dirt and grass — especially with other adults!
Then, after the game, they get to spend time going out to celebrate the win or the loss. As you can see there are many great benefits to the great game of softball. Improved Mental Health. You might have heard a lot of medical professionals that physical activity can improve your mental health in TV or YouTube videos before and that is absolutely true.
Softball is a strategic sport, which requires coaches to be ahead of their game and the athletes be able to plan their next move. The sport requires you to think creatively and critically to win the game, which is part of the fun of playing softball. By playing the game, you might awaken your leadership skills or further enhance them. Because softball is a team sport and there will always be both a loser and a winner after the game, it will require the coaches and players to have cooperation to win the game.
With that in mind, there is always room for failure in the sport. That said, the team will need to have someone to follow for them to do their parts efficiently and with great motivation. Learning how to handle your team, whether you win or lose, can give you much experience in being a leader.
