The game of baseball is very easy to follow, leading the ideas to form the sport of softball. Although many of the components of baseball such as throwing, catching, and hitting are the same in softball, there are also numerous differences. First difference is that baseball is predominately a male sport, while softball may be a co-ed sport outside of the high school and college atmosphere. Softball players use a twelve inch, neon yellow ball, while those playing baseball use roughly a nine inch, solid white ball. The base paths are also different in softball versus baseball. Girls have to run only sixty feet while boys have to run an extra thirty feet, leading them to run a total of 90 feet from each bag. Lastly, girls use bats of different materials like composite and/or aluminum. Baseball players use wooded bats, which are mandatory due to the size of the ball.Softball Baseball Similarities
