Having a son who has played all the way through college baseball and now raising a girl playing softball it seems that there are several things with softball that are wrong or just plain sexist.
First of all, when you watch the College World Series every player on the team has their height and weight in the program and then it's under their name on TV their first at bat or inning pitched. How sexist is it that the softball players do not do the same?
Also, many of these softball players are at the same weight as many of the baseball players so why are softball players permitted to swing bats that can be 13 ounces lighter than they are inches long? Baseball is limited to a drop 3 at age 14. And why are the softball fences so close? LL baseball plays on deeper fences than we saw at Mary Nutter a couple weeks ago
.
How bout moving the fences back to 275 feet and the bases to 75 feet and making the lightest bats a drop 5? Then, list the weight of the players the way baseball does.
