it is a lot closer in softball.
Baseball is right around 60 feet (I think it's 60.5 feet). Those college gals bring the heat, and I think they are doing it from right around the same distance as 8-9 year old Little League distance (around 42 feet). So baseball is around 50% further than softball - a significant difference.
I was at the cages this weekend with my son. some of the coaches got a cage with an 80 mph ball. Pretty fast, not all that hard to hit when the machine is putting it in the same spot every time, but would be pretty scary with a person throwing that hard at you!
