Not surprised at all. The timing is completely different, and in fastpitch, where the bat is being swung closer to the same plane as the pitch, timing isn't as critical (slightly late or slightly early in fastpitch merely changes the direction of the hit ... slightly late or early in slowpitch is likely a complete miss).
Also - the difference in base distance is HUGE, both in the aspect of fielding and baserunning between baseball and softball. It's TRULY a different sport.
