A softball is larger than a baseball, so the same rotation speed as a baseball means more drastic velocity at the surface of the ball, and more surface area to pull the ball in. And the ball is less dense, so it needs less drag in the first place. And with a slow pitch, the velocity is changing throughout the pitch so it would actually curve, go somewhat straight, and curve in again before the plate.

@monsteronmydesk I agree...with the size of the sweetspots on all of the bats now days - it is better to try and curve the ball into the handle than away from the handle...I find it works way better - especially with noobies

[MrJds1983]

there is no way the ball is going to curve enough to throw a decent hitter off....maybe a womens church league or children may be thrown off.. but the speed isnt there to make a drastic curve....
