3rd base is critical to be a star fielder against slap/bunt speed batters.

Bases are only 60 feet and these girls can burn… lots of infield hits

that's always been my issue with softball. any ground ball that isn't bobbled and not a traditional bunt, you shouldnt be able to beat out. I get that it leads to more "action," but it kind of makes me not like softball lol. the simplest fix is move the bases back 1 foot. because from what I can tell, most of the time its bang bang, so it wouldnt need to be moved much.

You are watching girls thst can sling it. Brown can throw but 3rd base was our weak spot last year. Not all ladies can throw like this, just like the SS at Tex last night moved to LF because she was lacking to compete with our bats.
