@Windle15 That's more or less true. A softball being pitched at 65-75mph from 45ft gives a batter about the same reaction time as a baseball being pitched at 90-100mph from 60 feet. Both are very hard to hit. The only thing is you can't see a baseball in flight the last 15-20 feet because of the speed it's traveling.
@leftyctopher in softball u have less time to react to the pitch because the distance in softball from home to pitcher mound is 42 ft, while in baseball its 60 ft 6 in. so u have less time to react. also its harder to hit a softball. if u dont believe me then look it up.
go try pitching 65 underhand. i think you'll get it then. and the distance from home to the mound is shorter in softball, so you have to reacts quicker. it's not as easy as it looks.
@leftyctopher actually thats fast for softball because 1.baseballs light 2.baseballs smaller 3.its easier to throw overhand then it is overhand if u got a baseball pitcher and taught him how to pitch underhand then he'd walk everybody up to bat plus its harder to put speed and movement on the ball when ur releasin at ur hip instead of above ur shoulder. she actually pitches 70mph, just to let u know that. dont give softball players any crap cause if u went up against 1 then u would strike out
just so you know each foot closer makes the ball feel 3 mph faster to a batter. In terms of time the batter has to hit the ball the best softballl pitcher and the best baseball pitcher will probably be very similar. Ofcourse a softball is thrown softer than a baseball its a bigger and heavier ball. Strength does not make you throw harder. Which is why guys like Lincecum can hit 99 mph on pitches. Speed is decided on a number of things but timing is probably the most important.
@leftyctopher well, incase u didnt know. since the pitcher mound in softball is 42 ft away from home plate with the ball comin at u 70 mph and in baseball its 60 ft 6 in with a bal comin around 95 mph. u have less time to react to the pitch.
@hzrdis at my pitching lessons they told us to grunt..something about makeing you put more umph in it..just bcus she grunts doesnt mean shes coppying someone...
Jennie is my rolemodel in life cause she is the one i look up to because i want to be just like her when i'm older thank u jennie!! :) Iam thirteen but want to be 18 thanks to u!! i'll see you face to face one day kjennie hahahah lolol :)
I went to that game... they were great! My daughter loves her! I think some of you should really watch what you say on cuz lots of young girls are watching this video and reading what u post!!!
Jennie Finch is my idol I went to her camp and met her... Jennie and her dad gave us so much tips and i know how to pitch just like her! JENNIE FINCH IS AWESOME!!!!! :D
yeah she is. at first i saw some girls pitching at the park and so i decided to be a pitcher and now that i see cat, jennie, and crystal, my goal is to be in the USA softball team. xD i can only pitch almost 50 and this is my second year picthing and my first year in high school softball. i have a few breaking balls like the screw, curve, rise, drop, change up...... O.O
the comment you replied to is gone, this comment however is still very view-able but quite a few young ladies who come here to check out their idol Finch.
Professional pitching rules are different from High School and NCAA (College) rules, so you're probably recognizing the difference in how they are told to pitch.
She takes more time in between pitches than a Major Leaguer...as a catcher I'd make her hurry the hell up. That has nothing to do with her ability of course, as she's quite the pitcher.
Actually a softball does weigh more than a baseball. Pick them both up or weigh them and you would see the difference. And you could teach somebody to pitch in softball. But do you have any idea how many hours you'd have to put into it? Jenny Finch started pitching when she was 5, she practiced nearly everyday in the spring, summer, and fall, whether it was with her dad, or if she went out by herself. Not anybody can be as good as her, you gatta want like she did. So no, not anybody can do it.
Yes, if the International rules are the same as NCAA or ASA then she throws several illegal pitches in this video...your hands can't not come together, seperate and then come back together again! Also, has anyone ever noticed that when Jennie was little she NEVER grunted...but after seeing a pitcher that grunted back in the late 90's she started to grunt...she should have not started copying someone else!!!
You get to 40? And you're 14? The average speed for a 13 year old is 50. And you say "I'm just tossing it." Go out and work at it for an hour and tell me how fast you get it to. And you're saying "is this what America is coming to?" Honey, if you start coming on here and post sexist comments, then you're ganna piss off a lot of girls and they're ganna reply. Other people on here are ganna be thinking "is this what America is coming to?" when they see your comments, not the other way around.
70 mph is awesome in fastball ..... most men dont throw that fast , Adam Folkard , is the fastest in the world right now and his fastest pitch is 135 kms. about 85 mph . and thats about as good as it gets . ..... therefore someone that throws mid 50 's and not even in high school is going to be a force to be reckoned with one day .
Better check again Kylie ..... Look it up , right on here !! ... type in Adam Folkard , watch and listen ! .... No one can through 125 mph. I have watched , and played fastball most of my life , about 85 mph is the fastest ive seen .
stop fucking lying. the record for a fastest thrown ball by a human is 106mph, by aroldis chapman on the Cincinnati Reds. it's impossible to throw a ball 125mph. you're a fucking liar. how do you feel about being called the fuck out?
also, while its possible for someone to throw 92 mph, you're stupid seventh-grade friend isn't the one doing it. an arm that young isn't developed enough to throw that hard. stop. fucking. lying. dumbass little bitch.
why dont you step in the fuckin box against me and see if you can hit something thats smaller, faster, moves more, doesnt rise, and isnt fuckin glowing
Softball was created by a man, men were the first to play softball. So when you say women were put on a smaller field because they don't have the same athletic capabilities as men, then you're wrong. Men still play it to this day, not professionally, but there are still teams for them, on the other hand, women do play it professionally. So therefore your argument is invalid. And do you have any idea how hard it is to pitch underhand? You wouldn't get it above 50.
Jennie you are the best softball player who has ever lived I want to be like you when I grow uo
She is just awesome!!!
jennie finch is definatley my ufol . she is an amazin putcher n i would love to get pitching lessons from her. i❤softball

@leftyctopher in softball u have less time to react to the pitch because the distance in softball from home to pitcher mound is 42 ft, while in baseball its 60 ft 6 in. so u have less time to react. also its harder to hit a softball. if u dont believe me then look it up.

go try pitching 65 underhand. i think you'll get it then. and the distance from home to the mound is shorter in softball, so you have to reacts quicker. it's not as easy as it looks.
I love softball! My whole family played it! I'm a 10U pitcher and I'm already as fast as a 12U pitcher!
@leftyctopher actually thats fast for softball because
1.baseballs light
2.baseballs smaller
3.its easier to throw overhand then it is overhand
if u got a baseball pitcher and taught him how to pitch underhand then he'd walk everybody up to bat plus its harder to put speed and movement on the ball when ur releasin at ur hip instead of above ur shoulder. she actually pitches 70mph, just to let u know that. dont give softball players any crap cause if u went up against 1 then u would strike out
I am a pitcher and she is my idol

Jennie u r amazing im a pitcher too nd ur my idol.
@leftyctopher well, incase u didnt know. since the pitcher mound in softball is 42 ft away from home plate with the ball comin at u 70 mph and in baseball its 60 ft 6 in with a bal comin around 95 mph. u have less time to react to the pitch.
@hzrdis at my pitching lessons they told us to grunt..something about makeing you put more umph in it..just bcus she grunts doesnt mean shes coppying someone...

i love jennie finch she is awsome!
I'm in love with her
@Windle15 It's true! It is more difficult to throw a softball than a baseball.
Jennie Finch is my idol I went to her camp and met her... Jennie and her dad gave us so much tips and i know how to pitch just like her! JENNIE FINCH IS AWESOME!!!!! :D
she pitches badass!!!
I. L.O.V.E YOU j finch
@iloveskittles221 yeah softballs are bigger which also makes them easier to hit
yeah she is. at first i saw some girls pitching at the park and so i decided to be a pitcher and now that i see cat, jennie, and crystal, my goal is to be in the USA softball team.
xD i can only pitch almost 50 and this is my second year picthing and my first year in high school softball. i have a few breaking balls like the screw, curve, rise, drop, change up...... O.O
the comment you replied to is gone, this comment however is still very view-able but quite a few young ladies who come here to check out their idol Finch.
I LOVE Jennie Finch, she is my idol!:) I just hope I can throw like her someday!lol
THANK YOU! SOMEONE WHO HAS A BRAIN.
Professional pitching rules are different from High School and NCAA (College) rules, so you're probably recognizing the difference in how they are told to pitch.
She is the best picher
she's my to!!!!!
She is my idol as well!
Wow im a pitching getting ready to be a high schooler and i really want to make the team, any tips
this is sick
ikr she is awesome man go fever!!!!! softball rules
Softballs r harder to hit because u have a bigger chance of hitting a pop fly or grounder if you don't hit the middle
she has an amazing pitch but for some reason it looks kinda sloppy after her finish..maybe its just her technique though either way its amazing
I love Jennie she my idol she
@wontonproductionss i'm not lieing.. no one cant hit his pitches and everytime he hits a ball it always goes outside the arena
i don't get how she's so effortless looking as she pitches..
Is it just me? Or is her arm really long witch makes the windup look even cooler?
I'm a pitch and I would love to meet her!!
i play for winter sprinqs hiqh schOl :D
i was at this qamee tOO.
One thing to say u r awesomeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
i wonder if she could do that with a baseball from an elevated mound. there's no rule in baseball that says you can't throw underhand
id injoy it
She takes more time in between pitches than a Major Leaguer...as a catcher I'd make her hurry the hell up. That has nothing to do with her ability of course, as she's quite the pitcher.
woah, i think ived played there before.
isn't the first pitch she was about to throw illegal? just asking i'm not sure
Actually a softball does weigh more than a baseball. Pick them both up or weigh them and you would see the difference. And you could teach somebody to pitch in softball.

Not anybody can be as good as her, you gatta want like she did. So no, not anybody can do it.
lhhbuck77 not everybody can do it,no one has done it,but I think it’s possible
@88jadensmith they are basiclly the same thing. i know your going to go off on me and list everything diffrent but they are about the same.
Yes, if the International rules are the same as NCAA or ASA then she throws several illegal pitches in this video...your hands can't not come together, seperate and then come back together again! Also, has anyone ever noticed that when Jennie was little she NEVER grunted...but after seeing a pitcher that grunted back in the late 90's she started to grunt...she should have not started copying someone else!!!
I'd love to. :)
@iloveskittles221 thts y the fields are shorter
wow
holding the ball in your glove for that long is illeagall i thought??? 1 of my friends got called for it!
Imagine how much it'd hurt if that hit you on the ball.
i want to be her when i grow up
Amazing i'm a pitching and a catcher
same i also dont put pressure on my pitcher or catcher because i know the feeling
i commented once lmao. and k. go try it and tell me how it goes. :)
i didnt say it was slow..i said it was FAR from slow.
omg i live there!!! hahaa
I want to be just like you when I grow up I am in third grade greater and I play second base and I love you Judy Fitch
i throw 65-70km per hour, and weve won the provincials in canada. someone like her would throw up to 80 im guessing.
She throws like a girl...oh wait, she is one! (don't get on me, it's a joke - she's great)
look up "sport science jennie finch" in the search... CLICK ON FIRST ONE. HAHA! THIS PROVES SOFTBALL IS BETTER
@Windle15 sports science (:

My sister in high school pitched over 125mph and one of my friends in 7th grade pitches 92mph
Better check again Kylie ..... Look it up , right on here !! ... type in Adam Folkard , watch and listen ! .... No one can through 125 mph. I have watched , and played fastball most of my life , about 85 mph is the fastest ive seen .
Well then obviously you haven't seen my sister and my friend
stop fucking lying. the record for a fastest thrown ball by a human is 106mph, by aroldis chapman on the Cincinnati Reds. it's impossible to throw a ball 125mph. you're a fucking liar.
how do you feel about being called the fuck out?
also, while its possible for someone to throw 92 mph, you're stupid seventh-grade friend isn't the one doing it. an arm that young isn't developed enough to throw that hard.
stop. fucking. lying.
dumbass little bitch.
Heey umm i just watched your demo video and you do nothing like you told other people to do yeah um just saying.
u seriously thought that she was slow! are you blind!!
sorry i was trying to explain something to an idiot i will get rid of it
thats not even that fast.. my friends like 16 n he can throw like 70-80 mph under arm n he has a friend that can throw 106mph!!!! UNDER ARM! 0_0
why dont you step in the fuckin box against me and see if you can hit something thats smaller, faster, moves more, doesnt rise, and isnt fuckin glowing
Pitching 53 in sixth grade isn't that hard I pitch 57 mph and I'm 11
Jaylen Mallard I pitched 61 in 6th grade
Jaylen Mallard
Jaylen Mallard no you didn't
Jaylen Mallard no you didnt
Steve Harkleroad Omg this made my day!
liar! there's no way you can pitch that fast!
no one hasn't broke that record yett except foe jennie althought her pitch 70-higher

And do you have any idea how hard it is to pitch underhand? You wouldn't get it above 50.
She hott
If she can throw strikes that'd be great! She has no control.
