@PitchingFan posted:This has definitely opened the door for a guy to try out for the softball team. I know someone will argue that it’s not as easy as it looks, but I can also guarantee once the guy figures out the swing, people would start getting hurt and it has been proven that guys can figure out how to pitch it to a lot higher level, I do not see how NCAA could keep a guy from playing
I watched a video from a few years ago of Jennie Finch dominating some MLB all stars in a batting cage. One of them was Pujols in his prime. But, I agree with you. Give them time to learn and adjust and they would own her.
There are high levels of men’s competitive softball. Those guys throw 95-100. Eddie Feigner (King and his Court) hit 104 seventy years ago. As a little kid, when Feigner was in his Forties I watched him whiff hitters pitching from second base. Finch was only in the 70’s. The biggest difference in hitting softball pitching is picking up the ball off the pitcher’s hip.
