Fastpitch softball
Underhand diamond game
Fastpitch softball is a variant of softball in which the pitcher delivers the ball with a rapid underhand windmill motion, unlike the slower arc of slowpitch.
The game emphasizes pitching skill, with speeds reaching 70 mph, and plays more like baseball than its recreational cousin.
She played fastpitch softball through college.
