The distance a softball is pitched from the mound to the batter is 40 ft.
Softball is a more similar and simpler version than baseball, very popular in the USA and is usually played outdoors, but is often played on the court. Softball is a sport included in Olympic games and Pan American games, where it is played only by women.
The rules and dynamics of this game are similar to those of baseball, but with some differences that allow softball to assume its own personality.
