Kinda says it all. ZERO reps in his life against a softball pitcher on top of being at a distance he's never seen before. He's programmed to hit with the pitcher starting 60'6'' away, not 46 (or 43 or whatever, and LL doesn't count). He also has a heavier wood bat (31-32oz's). How many times has he seen a pitcher coming from that angle? NONE. That's all girls know. They are used to it. Give him 20AB's and its over
A) Please learn grammar and spelling.
B) If you think baseball pitchers don't have to work on their mechanics, then you know absolutely nothing. Both softball and baseball pitchers have to work on their mechanics, maybe even moreso with baseball pitchers. Overhand pitching is far more destructive to the shoulder and elbow area. Underhand is the anatomically correct motion. Baseball P's have to put in plenty of work to ensure proper arm angles for injury prevention and maximum velocity.
haha.
but im sure yew wont hear us complaining about it because we are tough!
:]
Hard to take anyone seriously when words like "nd", "is" instead of "its", and "their" instead of "they're" come up.
Must be too much to type anything other than "OMG saftball is teh RoXeR's!!!1! Boys sukk! Wier bedder!"
Or give a baseball player a month to train for underhand fastpitch motions! Or put some random softball player up against CC Sabathia? What would that look like? Too bad such a horrifically flawed study is given creedence by people. You have to be extremely naive or just an absolute moron to believe this study proves anything other than they made a flawed study
A world class male windmill pitcher who throws an 80mph pitch released at 40 feet would allow the hitter . 341 of a second, which relates to a 106mph pitch in baseball."
WHOOPS! That doesn't change things at all does it. What if this guy faced Papelbon and got blown up on 3 straight pitches too? Would that prove anything?
Why is there no video of that?
Oh yeah, because that would prove without a doubt how flawed this study is. But hey, if any of you want to believe this proved anything, go on right ahead. You're the one who's going to look stupid.
1st off you need to calm down
2nd its still harder to hit a softball than a baseball.
guys can do it better. congratulations, you figured it out. can somebody get him a prize?
its still harder to hit a softball pitch than a baseball pitch. ask the male fastpitch players.
3rd a baseball is pitched from 60 ft. a softball is pitched at 43. you can't move the mounds just to fit your theorys.
but good try you moron
Read through all the other comments, and it all boiled down to page after page of "gurls are bedder". This "study" proved none of that.
"guys can do it better. congratulations, you figured it out." Read the other stuff before commenting next time.
Oh by the way, the 38 and 40 ft are the RELEASE POINTS. Girls usually release 2 feet closer than men, making their release point 38 feet, after they have strided forward 5 feet. Men move less.
Release point is 5 feet after starting point. Ok, if they start at 43 and you subtract 5, that would be......38? Maybe? Yes, no? Kookoo Kachoo?
