I have done a few years of BB and this year got my first introduction to FP SB and your post shows somebody who has no idea what they are talking about. In my opinion (what ever that is worth) baseball is easier to call than softball, but softball take less time. By that I mean that in BB you have much more time between the action to stretch, rest your legs, etc. In SB you are almost always "on the move" because the game is much more fast paced. Basically, you have to bust your *** a many more times in SB than in BB to be in the right place to make the best call you can.
