In softball why is it required that the pitcher pitches underhand?

Yes, softball rules require an underhanded pitch. Why would that bug you? It generally makes it easier to hit the ball.

@zenvelo I tired pitching underhand and I kept throwing grounders. No fun. I didn’t even get a chance to train. I was put on first base for the rest of the season.

I hated it. It was a pussy pitch. I want to hit a real pitch. I wanted to throw a real pitch.

@Dutchess_lll Me too.

If only there was a game that was nearly identical to softball but with overhand pitching.

@johnpowell Lol. In my city you only had softball.

@RedDeerGuy1 “I tired pitching underhand and I kept throwing grounders.”

You must throw the ball, not bowl it.

^^^^” Slow and bouncy” is perfect for kickball!
