Softball Vs Baseball Bat

Women versus Men on the Diamond “Anything you can do I can do better…” was a famous quote by Annie Get Your Gun that’s been used for many years, and has become relevant in the debate of softball versus baseball. The game of baseball was invented during the summer of 1839. Softball was later created in 1887 when a group of men joined together in Chicago 's Farragut Baseball Club to listen to the Harvard-Yale football game. Although these two sports seem identical they both have their own significant differences, but the game of softball is by far more difficult. Considering the differences of the fields’ length, bats, and ball the reaction time has become more crucial for softball players than baseball players.

Softball bats and baseball bats are different in many ways. For example softball bats have a smaller barrel than baseball bats. The barrel diameter for a softball bat is 2-1/4 inches, and for a baseball bat the barrel diameter is 2-5/8 inches. Having a smaller barrel in softball means that making contact with a ball from a shorter distance is much more difficult. With a baseball bat you have a larger barrel which allows a wider range to make contact with the ball. In comparison to baseball bats which are made out of wood, softball bats are usually made out of composite. A composite bat is mad out of carbon, glass and Kevlar Fiber. A famous bat for softball is an Easton two piece composite bat. An Easton bat is one of the lightest bats used for softball, allowing the batter to get her hands out faster for the pitch. What it means by two piece is the handle and the barrel are connected by a two piece connexion system. The two piece connexion system is to prevent vibration flowing from the barrel to the handle. Also to prevent a breakage. As for baseball players wooden bats are a player’s number pick. Wooden bats with a diameter of 2-5/8 inches and a heavier weight allows a baseball player to make better contact allowing the batter to drop his hands due to the weight. Baseball players tend to have heavier bats due to the fact that they see a pitch coming over hand
A baseball has always been one size and weighed the same. Given this fact baseball players do not have much to adjust too. A baseball must weigh between five and five-one fourth ounces and have a circumference of nine and nine-one fourth inches. On the other hand a softball changes as the league changes. For a youth softball pitcher the ball must have a circumference of eleven and seven eighth inches and weigh six and one fourth ounces. Now for a college pitcher the circumference is twelve and one fourth inches and weighs seven ounces. The velocity between a baseball and a softball pitch are similar in many ways but also have some difference. For softball as the pitcher releases the ball she applies a force toward the batter. As the ball travels, a backward force is applied because it encounters air resistance. Not only do you have the backward force but also the forward force. The forward force is cause by the pitching motion you decide to throw. On the other hand, the movement of a baseball through the air is due to the pitcher’s arm coming frontward, gravity stirring it down, and air resistance from the rotating seams. Gravity will always pull a pitch down as it moves toward the plate due to the hill. Although baseball has more downward pitches the movement of the ball is caused by the force. This force that pushes the ball in the opposite direction, whether it be sideways
