Baseball can be considered to be one of the most loved sports of all time. I mean how could it not? The sport itself has come a long way since it was first developed and has done a lot on its way. From putting up crazy history breaking records to putting smiles on kids’ faces, baseball has done it all. From spreading information, to opening up opportunities, to influencing history or just a few things baseball has done for us.
Baseball is one of America’s favorite past time sports. Baseball was derived from a British game called rounders, baseball was brought to America and the first professionally played in 1871. Baseball players now practice year round to stay in shape and better their skills. The most important physical attribute necessary for baseball is a strong arm. Before a game it is essential to properly warm up the players arm for best on field abilities. That’s why the best players in the game always long toss before a game. Long tossing is one of the most important elements of warming up before a baseball game.

The size of a softball field is 7,200 ft2 whereas the size of a baseball field is 16,700 ft2. When balls come off the bat in softball, the velocity is up to 100 mph. A softball player has less time to react from an infield line drive (0.61 seconds) than a tennis player does from a Serena Williams serve (0.65 seconds). When fielding grounders an infielder has to get the ball to first in less than 3.2 seconds which is over a second faster than a typical MLB player can reach first. The infield has even less time to react when facing a slap hitter. Slap hitting allows the batter to move towards the ball while they are hitting. This allows the batter to overcome their resting inertia before the ball is in play. Slap hitters reach speeds up to 19 mph and can reach first base in 2.66 seconds. This means that if a 3rd baseman takes more than 1.5 seconds to field a ball it becomes virtually impossible to throw the runner out because she would have to release the ball at 100 mph. You also have to consider base stealing, even with rules against leading off a quick runner can get from 1st to 2nd in just three seconds. This means a softball catcher has to get a throw off 1/10 of a second faster than a MLB catcher does.
Baseball seemed to be my life when I was a little kid. Playing catch, hitting balls, pitching, the whole nine yards. It has always a life long dream of mine to play Major League Baseball. I was a little kid with big dreams, nothing seemed to be impossible. I got older though, I started to realize some dreams were just too big.I couldn’t throw 100 MPH and didn’t have lightning fast speed. I realized I wasn’t going Pro in baseball but the most important thing I took away from it was the life lessons learned.

And if you try to run all four of them it comes out to 360 ft. But if you are unathletic you are still given the chance to make an impact.
