MEN'S MODIFIED

The pitching style of fastpitch is different from that of slowpitch softball. Pitchers in fast-pitch softball usually throw the ball using a "windmill" type of movement. In this style of pitching, the pitcher begins with his arm at the hip. The pitcher then brings the ball in a circular motion over the head, completes the circle back down at the hip, and snaps the hand. A "modified" fast pitch is identical to a "windmill" pitch except the arm is not brought over the head in a full windmill motion, but instead is brought behind the body and is then thrust directly forward for the release. Another type of pitching movement is the "figure 8". With this style, the ball is not brought over the head at all but down and behind the body and back in one smooth motion tracing out a figure eight. There are many different pitches which can be thrown, including a two-seam fastball, four-seam fastball, changeup, two different riseballs, two dropballs, curveball, offspeed, screwball, knuckleball and more.

MEN'S SLOW PITCH

Slowpitch pitching is underhand, but it has its own set of characteristics that make slowpitch softball its own sport:

  • Slowpitch rules mandate a pitching distance of 65 feet for women and co-ed and 70 feet for men.
  • The pitcher’s wind-up motion is a half windmill.
  • The pitch must be thrown with an arc between 6-10 feet high. If the arc is not high enough, the umpire will call the pitch illegal. 
  • The pitch must also be lofted in such a way that it falls onto the plate in order for it to be a called strike.
