I play baseball and I want to play softball for my school so I need to know the differences in rules. I know that they use a bigger ball and pitch differently and you can't steal bases but what else?

In Softball, the ball is greater suitable, yet much less dense. The pitching rubber is 40 3 ft faraway from homestead Plate. The bats utilized in Softball are smaller. The bases are 60 ft different than for one yet another. you are able to no longer take a lead earlier the ball is released with the aid of the pitcher. The infield is composed in user-friendly terms of airborne dirt and dust. The Corners play up with the aid of the pitcher. Softball includes working slaps from the left facet. The fence is two hundred ft from homestead Plate. Softball makes use of an underhand pitching technique referred to as a 'Windmill'. A softball pitcher can start up and end a pastime, or maybe pitch a double header because of the fact the pitching technique is greater of a organic action than in Baseball. In Baseball, the ball is smaller, greater dense. The pitching mound is 60 feet and six inches from homestead Plate. The bats are greater suitable than in Softball. that's ninety ft to each base. you are able to lead off the bag earlier the ball is pitched. there is grass interior the infield and airborne dirt and dust interior the infield. The fence is often 3 hundred ft from homestead Plate. Baseball makes use of an overhand pitching action. A baseball pitcher often would not end a pastime and is relieved with the aid of yet another pitcher, and demands relax after a pastime because of the fact the pitching action isn't as organic because of the fact the pitching technique in softball.

The Field is smaller. The runners haveta stay on (toughing) a base until the ball leaves the pitchers hand, base stealing is not allowed. The Ball is delivered underhanded. 7 innings instead of 9. Pitcher must have BOTH feet onthe pitchers rubber and can only take like one step towards plate to deliver ball

distance from the mound is shorter, distance between the bases is shorter and you can steal the bases, you just have to wait until the ball is released from the pitchers hand. Other than that it is basically the same.
