Re: little league baseball vs. girls fast pitch softball


Posted by: Gary Ellis (gary.ellis@scb.com) on Sun Jan 5 07:12:50 2003


I have a daughter who is extremely competitive in 11-12 year old boys little league baseball. I understand physically she won't be able to do that at some point in the future and will need to go to fast pitch softball. My question is will she gain more from the baseball at this point or should we make the move to softball as soon as possible. I believe she will be challenged more in the baseball and hope that will make her continue to improve. Any advice on which way to go to improve her as a ball player would be greatly appreciated.

I would move her quickly. College coaches don't give full rides to girls with a baseball background. There is a lot more to the game of fast pitch softball and the timing for almost everything is different. I have a son that played college ball and a daughter that is a college pitcher. My son was a top hitter in baseball. He can't touch my daughters pitches.
