Odds are women softball players would be struck out by professional baseball players. Both are hard in different ways. Both hitters rely heavily on release points and timing. Baseball hitters don't have the timing to hit softball, and vice versa. Give both of them time and they'd be able to figure each other out and adapt their swings and timing.

More Universities worldwide should invest in young people with character like this.

That sucks

So she was benched the entire game?

Could have been worse.

Then, astonished onlookers could "bearly" believe what happened next--Barry began to brutally rape zookeeper Gilks!

I feel like if you're a hunter you should be prepared for these kind of situations? So I think this is kind of funny if I'm being honest. Thanks for sharing lol!

Okay? Baseball players get struck out playing baseball too. Your comment doesn't change anything I said about the ball size not being accounted for.

Also, I bet softball players would be struck out by baseball pitchers. So again, your comment doesn't really address anything....

I was just pointing out that "sports science" usually does a shifty job at actual science and constantly doesn't account for important factors.

Professor baseball players have been struck out by women's softball pitchers.

What about hitting into a double play?

For all you know that comment was made by Barry Bonds. For what it’s worth I am 100% sure I could not put a baseball in play in D1 ball.

They went hiking in grizzly country with no bear spray. Not very smart.

When an opportunity for Valhalla presents itself, you seize that opportunity.

Worst outcomes for an at bat are as follows:

1. Strike out looking
2. Strike out swinging
3. Hit a little dinker that the C or P picks up and throws you out 4. Ground out to 1st/2nd

So hell yea it’s a W for her. Infield pop ups can go in there somewhere too.

Softball pants enlarge some barrels

More exciting?!? Sure…

You're correct on enlarged barrel

It's very nearly r/OrphanCrushingMachine

Aluminum yes, large barrel, no.

An issue is they are usually playing with the others rules on their own equipment. Women aren't using heavy wood bats to hit a baseball and men aren't using aluminum bats to hit a softball. You also have to change bat rotation speeds.

I'd be the most insufferable person for the rest of my life.

"oh yeah well I wrestled a Grizzly bear once"

Huge disagree. Reads more like someone trying to get their first book published and failing rather than trying to distribute news or a real story. Literally cringed in several parts.

The above also doesn't discuss the size of the ball. Even if the reaction time needs to be quicker, the movement based on the reaction doesn't need to be as accurate. I think the .03 difference would be offset by the size of the ball.
