softballers
Underhand pitch catchers
Softballers are people who play softball, the variant of baseball played with a larger ball on a smaller field.
The term appears most often in casual contexts describing recreational or amateur players: The Sunday softballers gathered at the park for their weekly game.
Less commonly, it can refer to journalists or interviewers who lob easy questions rather than challenging ones.
