Which sport is easier to learn, baseball or softball?

Softball is easier, because the pitching is slower, and the ball is bigger. the games are almost the same, except for the differences I mentioned, for a beginner, softball is the easier game to pick up.

The ball size.  A softball is I think double the size of a baseball.  The size of the barrol of the bat.  A baseball bat has a bigger barrol then a softball bat.  The pitching styles.  Baseball is overhand and softball is underhand.

Baseball is a little more laid back.  There's such long periods of inactivity, it's hard to stay riled up.  \n\nGo to a game when it's crunch time, and the outcome of the game really matters.  You'll see a lot more hootin' and hollerin'.

Baseball is the most difficult sport because of how difficult it is to hit a baseball. I'm not sure of how many other sports there are where 30% success rate makes you an all-star player.\nBaseball is also very fatguing in that the season is so long that it is difficult to stay healthy for such a long time.

Basketball usually, but I guess you could apply it to baseball.

ain't nuthin soft about a softball!!! I umpire both games, and they each hurt!\n\nThe "soft" part  refers to the way the game was originally played, and that was a "soft" toss, or pitch. Baseball actually began as this soft type of pitch, and both sports evolved into what we have today.

Women played baseball during WW2 and did OK, but not as good as the guys.  In Softball the fields are smaller (60 foot bases, 200+ foot fences, and about 45 foot pitching mound) and the women can play very well.  Fast pitch is many times faster to react to on the shorter mound than the baseball.  There were some attempt recently to have women pro teams on a baseball field, but it never was successful.  It is harder for them to cover the 90 foot bases and 400+ fences and pitch the 60 foot distance.

By far MLB with NFL a close second.  Baseball is a very strategic game.  Most of all it is a great one-on-one matchup and mindgame between the batter and the pitcher.  The managers always seem to be very cerebral to when it comes to calling plays, lineups and substituting players.\n\nFootball is a close second because there are so few games that every week is an important matchup.  Playing/coaching football is like chess in that you may have to setup the big play by sacrificing a few small ones.\n\nBoth are great sports with talented athletes.

Hi. I'm a pitcher in  high school girls fast pitch. I think it is a fairly easy sport. You  have to practice a lot to get good, But it's really fun.

Play sports and learn to be the best at it what ever you do. I play high school sports and college level. At first I did it to get friends and have something to do but to be honest my grads went up, my esteem went up and life was good. So my sugestion do it go play and kick some but it feels great. Playing softball will actually make you quite the opposite of a dork.

Ok pitching a softball is totally different than pitching a baseball. Theres no way someone like jenny finch could just join a team in the MLB. Now if you taught a girl how to pitch a baseball from a young she might have the skills but like all other sports men just won't let it happen. I mean keith hernadez went nuts because a girl was in the dugout. it just won't happend

i'd have to say catcher...i've played baseball since i was 4, and i've played all 9 positions on a varsity high school team, and as catcher, you have to know every situational play for all the positions because you usually call them, and, because you can see the whole field, you're the field general...you direct everybody. Not to mention the physical toll, and the fact that you're expected to block balls that get to you in less than .75 seconds...if you want more baseball info, just e-mail me.\n\nand to the person above me...the pitcher doesn't have complete control of the game...yes he is spotlighted because he starts every play with the ball, but, having experienced 1/3 of all runs scored against me being unearned (meaning the fielders made errors leading to the runs), the pitcher has less control than perceived
