I've seen like 20 benches cleared situations watching these Majors teams . Not one turned into bench clearing brawl or even a benches clear 2 guys fight lol. They ain't never gonna do sh**. Which is probably a good thing since most of them are 6'1-6'4 and 75% look like they're on some sort of PED's. Somebody would get hurt for sure if one of their wild overhand rights landed. You know it'd be nothing but wild overhand rights lol
As a slow pitch SB pitcher, I promise you the flailing and fake pumps from the pitcher do nothing. The ball comes so slowly it very easy to focus. I feel like the high level pitchers do it as more of a “look how wild I can be” thing. One of the pitchers on my old team has been working so hard on learning all the wild movements and it has done nothing for him but more walks
Even hitting the ball in slow pitch takes some skill even though the ball is coming in at an arc you can misjudge your swing and end up swinging to high or low
I never understood why pitchers in baseball or softball get mad when a ball comes back at them. You guys are just another fielder right when you let go of the ball. Alot of guys take it fine, but there's some that are absolute baby's.
@@MP-km9ib 100% I played in a tournament this past weekend where faking was allowed. Most annoying thing I've ever seen while trying to hit. And it was always the guys who never threw strikes that did it too.
@ SW48 "benches clear but nothing happens as usual " comment had me cracking up , we wanna see more action besides swinging bats and throwing balls . Jk!! great vid thanks for your hard work!!
Yep. Only power in the game. Defense and small ball never existed. When I played at our peak we had maybe 2 guys with power. The rest of us were line drive hitters with speed. We dominated for a decade!!
so the batters box is just a suggestion in softball? cuz, i think its there for a reason and there is a rule abbot it (it seems like EVERY front foot is out of it on the swing....).
Agreed…the ball comes back so f’n fast it doesn’t take much to miss it and the damage it can cause can literally be fatal. Either an out or a single is fine with me if it hits the fence. I pitched for 15 years in slow pitch and I’ve had my share of comebacks that caused some serious pain. Guys like the guy who commented that you should be athletic enough to field the ball or avoid it don’t know shit. That’s like saying MLB pitchers who get hit with line drives aren’t athletic enough and they’re elite
I remember when they started using composite bats and the umpa lumpas starting hitting homeruns for the first time in their lives. I wish all league would go back to steel/single wall bats with a 47 core ball. That's when you didn't need a mask to pitch.
Theirs no way he shouldn't be making those plays at first base at this level ( every throw Is a perfect throw unless its outta yr reach infielders have seconds to get that ball out bcaz of the close bases
Looks like they playing 80 foot! We normally play 70 and last weekend one field out of 3 they had them at 60 foot...no groundball outs where made! Players stopped even making the throw!
It's a turf field. This is the easiest field to make plays on. There's no bad hops or anything. He has bad form on his picks and some of them were bad throws by his teammates.@@jonathanmelsha9214
You probably want to search usssa.com slowpitch for tournaments in your area and go out and talk to some of the teams at the tournament and see if you could come out to one of their practices. Also find a local league to play in.
These are the best softball players in the country and the home runs have a limit so it is far from home run derby. The teams in this video are made up of players from 10 different states.
Yeah, because players can aim and there's usually a gap up the middle. That's why there's so much tension when people hit middle, because it's actually controlled and deliberate.
Damn... walk up on that pitch and hit it. Everyone feet planted like back in the baseball days. Start in the back of ths box walk up and swing the bat from higher position with a slight downward rotation of the bat but not quite a chop swing. The ball will have a slight backspin as it missile's into the trees. Baseball swings are boring and no chance to sizzle the ball. Big arms only work if you can use your legs too. Otherwise its popcorn
The last couple of innings the play by play announcer sound like he was so exhausted that he was about to fall asleep while he was on air... announcer:"there's a two run double"😴
Not really an announcer sitting in a booth with a headset. I am more of a guy holding a camera on the field near the players so its more like golf where you can’t be loud.
That whole debacle at 11 minutes is the reason I never got into competitive softball. I’ll stick to my social leagues where we all drink beer and have fun with each other lol. Bunch of grown ass men arguing about a game they’re probably getting paid to play.
1st Baseman for MPT has got to learn how to dig those balls outta the dirt...Several that he failed on, the one that comes to mind is in the 4th inning it was a great play by the 3rd baseman who threw an easy one hopper that he failed to catch...Gotta get that fixed
Agreed. Play baseball. Softball was made to be a more relaxed form of baseball. These juiceheads think they’re so hardcore cuz they can crush a slow pitched softball. I’m sure the team divorce rate is through the roof.
As much as I wanted a brawl or fists thrown I'd feel bad for the players because everyone is wearing black jerseys it be hard to differentiate who is on who's side lol
12:20 "benches clear but nothing happens as usual" just beautiful piece of commentary
In all fairness many get off the bench in an attempt to help diffuse the violence or calm their teammates down

Agreed. And glad dude got rocked all game. He seemed like a prick
what do you suggest otherwise? the goal of all that is to disrupt timing just enough to induce more ground balls. I saw alot of that.
As a new slow pitch player, noticed right away its so easy hit up the middle. So I totally agree.
Definitely affects the timing it may not make a big difference but it is affective
There should be a rule against it
Their is so much Juice flowing on that field right now
I was thinking the same thing Lolol
Anyone that has ever caught a softball at full speed knows there is nothing easy about the game...it does take skill...
Even hitting the ball in slow pitch takes some skill even though the ball is coming in at an arc you can misjudge your swing and end up swinging to high or low
Absolutely I play for a men's league them 52/300 balls be coming like a bullet
I thought it was easy.
especially them damn knuckle balls that come at you
I played third in my 20s-40s. Once they switched to double wall bats and cheater bats I started seeing more injuries.
If I were the 3rd baseman for MPT, I'd be kicking my 1st baseman in the nuts! Nice play over there in the corner....4th inning maybe?
Buddy wolf is the most underrated player on the planet.. What a legit beast
Loved watching #10 take that cry baby deep twice
Its always them f…ing pitchers that start the crap
i wonder how that pitcher felt after getting cranked by the same guy he talked shit to at his next two at bats lol
I’ve never seen talking shit workout from the mouth it came from
Wow alot of players moving teams again this season. Looking forward to seeing the newer videos to see where the rest end up
Musical chairs every year.
That pitcher was a baby 😂 you made the play
Chill out. Let em chirp

Lol that finger wag 😂
Don't really get all the criticism here in the comments, other than it's the comment section of yt. Looked like serious fun to me, thanks for sharing!
Well said!

Blame the technology in bats
I'm sure your local beer league was very impressed.
@@cwolf208 oh, I see what you did there..lol.
You would lose 70-5 if you played these guys.
@@washedupwarvet2027 They start drug testing and the majority of these guys would fail. A lot of them are taking PED's to play softball lol
Full respect to the pitcher, if you go hard liner up the the middle in adult slow pitch the pitcher gets to talk his sh!t.
Great fair call @ 21:00
If I get on a cycle can I play?
These guys really take batting practice seriously
I love the fight! Show some passion. I hate when people say it's just softball.. I wanna win and win with style!
It is more than a game to many, it is a lifestyle.
The umpire should have tossed the pitcher. So unorganized man
Adult men’s softball starter kit:

And in the box you get a sign poster of all the white players who supports the Confederate flag
@@orlandowells5400 nothing wrong with that dip sh**
12:00 if you wanna skip to the “fight” lmao
#8 on the mound reminds me of a line from Blazing Saddles.
Good God! Chris and Ryan on the same team!!
How do you take the pitcher serious? Dudes out there swinging his arms like Luigi 😂
It’s all a distraction technique. It’s literally damn near impossible to get these guys out so they will do anything to try.
How far is the fence?
at viera, FL spacecoast stadium it is 325-365-385-365-325
La pasion por el juego no puede llegar a tanto, todos tenemos familia que mantener y es un simple juego
Perfect example of why you shouldn’t cycle gear at the same time as the rest of the league.
so the batters box is just a suggestion in softball? cuz, i think its there for a reason and there is a rule abbot it (it seems like EVERY front foot is out of it on the swing....).
In conference if your back foot starts even with home plate you can stride forward as far as you want
What’s the HR limit in this tourney?
12
Number 10 on smash it, simply a ball player
Tyler Marshburn. He was MVP of the league in 2020
there ain’t nothing easy about this game no matter what level
That's true
Who was calling this game? Ben Stein?
Lol that does sound like how he would call it. Can you imagine WWE announcer Jim Ross calling a game?
Where is the strike zone
Home plate ump like 👁 👄 👁 during that scuffle
I like the protective fence for the pitcher... if the ball touches it batter is automatically out. Even as the batter I like that
At this level of play, a pitcher should be athletic enough to play position defense
Agreed…the ball comes back so f’n fast it doesn’t take much to miss it and the damage it can cause can literally be fatal. Either an out or a single is fine with me if it hits the fence.

Defense was atrocious 😂😂😂 fun to watch tho, thanks
Yeah I think Harvey needs to go back behind the dish again. Oof. 14:00
Lol the pitcher doing all that and still getting tore up 😂
Thank You
All of these guys are stepping out of the box…
In conference you are in the box if your back foot starts even with home plate.
@@sw48 ah fair enough. Odd to even have a box though.
The box is painted on the turf permanently for baseball and fastpitch...
I remember when they started using composite bats and the umpa lumpas starting hitting homeruns for the first time in their lives. I wish all league would go back to steel/single wall bats with a 47 core ball. That's when you didn't need a mask to pitch.
It’s silly that the bats are so juiced now. It’s completely tarnished the art of hitting home runs.
I remember using a 36 oz bat because that is what was needed to hit them over the 300' fence's.
Why is the distance between bases so short?
This isn't baseball.
Its not really...maybe 80 instead of 90 where some do play 70 and seen 60!
that pitcher is annoying as hell
Damn, Harvey looking human playing 1st base lol. A beast at the plate though!
1st base is not easy at all. Especially if you're not used to having to scoop and find your foot on the bag
You gotta admit, those were some horrible throws to him though. Very hard to handle.
Theirs no way he shouldn't be making those plays at first base at this level ( every throw Is a perfect throw unless its outta yr reach infielders have seconds to get that ball out bcaz of the close bases

pitcher jumping around, swinging his arms, doing everything but throw the damn ball.
That was so damn annoying
I stopped watching because it was so damn annoying. Bruh just throw the ball
ya this was awful. I am embarrassed i even watched it
Yeah. I understand the strategic point of it but damn it’s annoying. He made it a farce and got destroyed too.
This announcer is putting himself to sleep
what was said that made him go after him?
I think #10 said something like he was going to go middle again and hit the pitcher or something.
Someone rock that pitchers shit please
Always waiting for Harvey and Greinert to start throwing people in the stands when benches clear
Hahahaha i was waiting too
Do they smoke a cigarette while they're waiting for the pitch? 🤔
Where can I find more info on this ? Games .umpires ..where this is played ect
I post all the information about tournaments, stats, rankings, tournament reports, livestream links on SoftballCenter.com
@@sw48 thanks..could you answer one.more.question for me.how does one get onto Usaaa team?
You probably want to search usssa.com slowpitch for tournaments in your area and go out and talk to some of the teams at the tournament and see if you could come out to one of their practices. Also find a local league to play in.
Rec Division I suppose?
Major the top division. If you are better than these players then you can make some good money playing. Come on out.
So I guess in this league there is no such thing as a balk? That MPT pitcher is out there seizing like an epileptic.
no there is not
@@sw48 So is it mostly just a homerun derby then? It seems like most of these guys are mostly offensively gifted.
These are the best softball players in the country and the home runs have a limit so it is far from home run derby. The teams in this video are made up of players from 10 different states.
@@sw48 I get that...
Is there an age requirement to play major slow pitch? Also how many teams are there?
18. There are 4 Major teams and 39 AA/A/B teams in the Conference USSSA this year. You can follow the conference on softballcenter.com
I’ll join in 4 years cuz I’m 14 right now
Unlimited HRs?
12 limit
I chucked for fastball for years and I will say I have had more balls bouncing off me playing slow pitch
Yeah, because players can aim and there's usually a gap up the middle. That's why there's so much tension when people hit middle, because it's actually controlled and deliberate.
Defense making me catch feelings 🥰
The guy at 15:18 almost got the Derek Jeter flip to the 2nd baseman.
nice player on the hotshot by the pitcher, but why the showboating? Is there bad blood?
I’m only assuming here but it looks like Dunn tried to go back at Nino after Nino hit to Purcell.
@@jesusflores8481 ahhh so intentionally shooting one up the middle at pitcher?
Omg I just got to the right. This is like a Saturday night live skit.
the pitches, Bush League
Pitcher looks ridiculous
left fielder got my name 3:55 lmao
Is it just me or at the beginning is that pitcher on something ? He seriously looks like he's tweaking.
Is it normal for the pitchers to be weird and pump fake and do all that extra stuff?this is the first time ive seen this I’m jsut wondering
They have 5 seconds to pitch and are trying to get you to miss the sweet spot on the bat by a half an inch.
Grown men fighting over softball is hilarious!!!
They all need to learn defense. The defense is horific.
That’s for sure!!
Exactly why I stopped playing. A bunch of grown men acting like babies is embarrassing to be around.
Lotta healthy beards out there. Bunch of dick measuring for sure
Yo Ryan Harvey is a Badass
wanted to watch this but between the announcer and the pitchers hesitating his pitches I just couldn't take it ANYMORE!!
The fight… like bro you caught a softball, congrats hahaha
I think he was mad cause he believed that was an intentional hit up the middle.
@@wojak91 can’t say he didn’t deserve. Chill out with all his BS pump fake nonsense.
The pitcher who fought with that guy the guy hit 2 HOMERUNS back to back after the fight
haha, there was a fight too ??? haha...
What the hell were they fighting about? Haha
Really confused on why that pitcher was so extra with all his pitches
Just trying to psych out the batters. It can work in your typical rec games but at the pro level, it just looks dumb.
At this level I am surprised to see the lack of skill on the defensive side.
Great video! Do these guys ever use the classic plus?
Classic plus ball? No

I take that back...I just realized it was Harvey at 1st base...He more than makes up for it at the plate...Best power hitter I've ever seen
No wonder Harvey plays a lot of catcher. Guys can swing a bat but can’t play 1st base to save his life
He is not very agile.
Keep Harvey at catcher.
Yep

Agreed. Play baseball. Softball was made to be a more relaxed form of baseball. These juiceheads think they’re so hardcore cuz they can crush a slow pitched softball. I’m sure the team divorce rate is through the roof.
Pitcher shouldn’t be mad side they are both hitting down the middle
relax guys just slow pitch
They take this shit serious...seriously
I think this should be the standard! Shit the F up and play ball! Don’t hit up the middle, and say sorry when you do!
So good - just like MLB with the fake fights, much more hitting. Sign me up!
Wtf was that pitcher expecting staring the other team down then taking offense to getting stared back at
They shouldn’t allow balking in softball.
Hahah the fake pumps would piss me off so much
