Fastpitch Balls

Fastpitch softballs are typically made of a core material, often polyurethane or cork, surrounded by layers of synthetic or genuine leather. The core is designed to provide the right balance of weight and compression for optimal performance. Fastpitch softballs are smaller and lighter than slowpitch softballs, with a circumference of 11 to 12 inches and a weight of 6.25 to 7 ounces. The reduced size and weight allow pitchers to achieve higher speeds and more spin, making the game more challenging and dynamic.
