I played mostly what's called "modified" here rather than fast pitch, which allows windmill-type pitching. In modified, the pitcher can only bring his arm back as high as his shoulder, but that's still pretty fast. But I think I enjoyed pitching high-arc the most, which really required a great deal of skill to get a called strike on a 15' arc, which needed to land right behind home plate to be called a strike. The last day I played at age 58 required me to pitch 3 consecutive games in one day in the playoffs, as our other two pitchers were both away that day. Won the first two games, then ran out of gas halfway through the last game and lost in the semi-finals. In my very last at bat, I connected for a double off the best pitcher in the league, the only hit I ever got off him, so that made the end a bit less bitter for me.GHETTOBLASTER » 14 Jun 2022, 10:39 am » wrote: ↑ Zeets..
You have lead a most interest life..!
Did you ever play Fast Pitch..?
I never even saw Fast Pitch until I was stationed in Colorado and got my only chance to play it there.
I loved it...a lot of games come down to just 1 swing of the bat in the late innings.
Before playing Fast Pitch I never faced pitching that could make the ball "hop" over my bat......
Did you only play fast pitch windmill?
