The Wesley Wolverine’s SOFTBALL PITCHING RUBBER IS JUST 43 FT. FROM HOME as compared to 60.5 FT. FOR BASEBALL.
A windmill pitcher releases the ball from 37 ft. away to hurl a ball that can reach the plate as fast as 0.35 seconds later (faster than it takes a 100 mph baseball from its 55 ft. release point to reach its batter).
A Wolverine can have just 0.350 seconds to locate and identify a pitch, compared to 0.395 seconds for hard ball (and, then, she has as little as 0.025 seconds to decide whether to swing!)
