Legally, there is no such thing as a "slow pitch" bat. The manufacturers mark them as slow or fast pitch purely for marketing reasons. The slow pitch bats are intended for use by adults and so have less of a "drop", etc. Most girls cannot get such a bat around fast enough to use it against a good fastpitch pitcher. However, those that can will be able to get good distance on the ball.

Bottom line: any bat that is legal in the slow pitch game is legal in the fast pitch game (ASA) and by extension, NFHS.
