What is Fastpitch Softball?
Fastpitch Softball is a game similar in style to baseball, but with its own unique challenges. For instance, pitchers throw in a wind mill motion from a much closer distance, bases are closer and we use a larger ball. Its a very exciting game which relies on bunting, stealing and cashing in on your opponents weaknesses.
