Other than the pitching regulations, what are the differences between fast pitch and modified pitch? I'm scheduled to do a men's MP next week, and there are a few women's MP leagues I could be doing.
One specific question is regarding HBP. I know there is no HBP in slow pitch, and the rulebook says fastpitch only in 8.1.F :D 8.1.F is also where it states "the hands are not to be considered part of the bat". Are the hands part of the bat in MP and SP? |
Quote:
The hands are part of the body in all versions of softball (and anatomy, I believe). The point of excluding slow pitch is NOT to state that hands become part of the bat, it is to state that, in slow pitch, the batter does not become a batter-runner when hit by a pitch, as 8-1 (everything) states. |
