I played and pitched a lot of low arc (which was 6'-9') as well, which was basically just a hitter's league, and the scores were almost always in double digits, and I never batted below .500 in any low or high arc league. My best year ever was in modified however when I batted .632 for the year, which was slightly aided by a quirk in the rules when I got credited for two hits during that year where the ball I hit struck a base runner, (same runner both times) who is ruled out even though the batter (me) gets credited with a hit.GHETTOBLASTER » 14 Jun 2022, 11:17 am » wrote: ↑ I think what we played was "windmill"..but not all pitchers used that delivery.
We had a "low arc" slow pitch league that was really fun.
Imagine playing on a windy night in Colorado at 7000 feet..!!
Bombs Away..!
I tore into an "unlimited flight" softball and found a solid hard plastic sphere. The leather hide was contact cemented to the plastic sphere. These balls travel even better after you remove the leather cover...!
There are baseballs made the same way that I believe are used just for those Home Run Derbys.
Some of my best memories, especially when both teams would hit a local bar after the game on a Sunday morning. More than once we celebrated after a big win for many hours and it was dark when we finally left.
