Fast-pitch----just like baseball.\n\nPitcher\nCatcher\nFirst base\nSecond base\nThird base\nShortstop\nLeft field\nCenter field\nRight field\n\nAll except the pitcher and catcher can play anywhere on the field they wish, but must be in fair territory. \n\nIn slow pitch there is an extra outfieder used.

Regardless of the way of movement, peregrine falcon is the fastest. If you are trying to ask the fastest by way of running then cheetah is the fastest.\n\n>>The fastest animal/ bird is called peregrine falcon which can fly at the speed of 100-200 miles per hour. \n>>Fastest marine animal is blue whale which swims 30 miles per hour).\n>>Fastest land animal is cheetah which can run 70 miles per hour. \n>>Fastest fish is sailfish which can swim 68 miles per hour. \n>>Fastest insect is dragonfly which can fly 36 miles per hour.♥

Grass is the fastest surface.   The ball tends to slide on it and it favors big servers and serve and volleyers (since returning is so hard.)\n\nHard courts are somewhat fast.\n\nClay courts are very slow, leading to more rallys and making it almost impossible to serve and volley at the pro level since the returner has so much time to look at the ball.

Most pros have an initial ball speed of around 150 mph

There is a professional softball league - National Pro Fastpitch.  They currently have 7 teams: the Connecticut Brakettes, Akron Racers, Arizona Heat, Chicago Bandits (Jennie Finch plays for them), New England Riptide, Philadelphia Force, and Texas Thunder.  They're hardly household names, but the league is expanding.

Not a chance! Most fast bowlers bowl faster than a softball pitcher and a cricketball is harder than a softball so unless you have a real shitty bat theres no problem! Trust me Im Australian and I play cricket and baseball....

no, 34'' is to long and 33oz is to heavy for a standard game of softball that is not fast pitch. you should look into something more along the lines of 32'' 22oz because it's not fast pitch.

LMAO @ the number of ignorant people who think softball is mainly for women.\n\nGet your brain box out of your butts. 70-80 mph pitching from 43-46 ft from home plate would spin most of your heads.\n\nA few years back there was a mens softball team which exhibition toured the USA and Canada. This team played with only 4 men and never lost. The pitcher would pitch one inning from second base instead of from the pitchers circle and most nights he would strike out the side.

Women played baseball during WW2 and did OK, but not as good as the guys.  In Softball the fields are smaller (60 foot bases, 200+ foot fences, and about 45 foot pitching mound) and the women can play very well.  Fast pitch is many times faster to react to on the shorter mound than the baseball.  There were some attempt recently to have women pro teams on a baseball field, but it never was successful.  It is harder for them to cover the 90 foot bases and 400+ fences and pitch the 60 foot distance.

The Guinness Book of Records has Nolan Ryan clocked in with the fastest pitch at 100.9 MPH.

I think the fastest anyone has ever bowled is around 100 mles an hour. \n\nWe do have it televised on PPV.

I like fastpitch softball because it's a game for 'real men' and women too.\n\nI like slowpitch softball because it's a game for 'real men' and women too.

It depends on your frame of reference.  Relative to the Earth, the fastest speed man is capable of is probably 10km/s, that's 1/30000 the speed of light.

The dictionary defines pitch as a thrown baseball, so just to be interesting and argumentative(sorry it's my nature)...A baseball has been thrown 450ft, to do this the ball would have had to leave the "pitchers" hand at 120MPH\n\nLater:\nthere are two that don't believe in facts...LOL...At least check it out first! I quote my source as proof...

106? Not acccording to Baseball Almanac. \n\nhttp://www.baseball-almanac.com/articles/fastest-pitcher-in-baseball.shtml\n\n4 Pitchers tied at 102 in a Major League game, and career minor leaguer Steve Dalkowski as probably the fastest of all time.
