That's at least the second time you've brought up CC. You need to know that he has negative credibility in the softball game.

Second, the infield action in softball is much faster and in a much smaller space than in baseball. Anyone attempting to take base umpire mechanics from baseball and apply them to softball always needs to keep this difference in mind.

One other piece of data:

Size of the infield:

Softball: 3600 sq ft
Baseball: 8100 sq ft

You can fit 2.25 softball infields inside a baseball infield.
