Reading a pitch

Reading a pitch is a very advanced thing to do in softball. This is something that many girls learn to do in 16 and unders. This is also the time when you get to learn all of the fun and tricky pitches. But all these pitches have a different way you can read them, some you can't see coming until it passes the plate. Most pitches that girls get caught on are change ups and rise balls, it all depends on who is hiting and who is pitching. You always need to learn about the pitcher you are facing before going up and hitting the ball. You should always know what her pitches are and what works best for her, and what pitches are her strong ones. If the pitcher is having a really hard day you can guess she wont be throwing her hardest pitch she has.
