I read the rules and still don’t understand why softball players need more room than baseball players. Makes no sense to me.

I hear you.
Funny… Baseball pitcher throws 100mph: Official Baseball Rule 5.04(b)(5) requires the batter to have both feet within the batter's box when assuming an initial position in the box prior to hitting (no portion of the foot may be outside the line under this provision.

Softball 5mph, batters need help (endangering all)

Maybe I a not clear. Are you saying before the ball is pitched, the batter can stand with 99% his feet outside of the lines?

Umpire said as long as the batters toe was touching the outer edge of the batters box; the batter was considered being in the box. Why have a box if 99% of the batters feet can be outside of it?

I saw multiple pitchers hit at Loudon. Why is it that Senior Softball has super bats and balls; when players are older and reflexes are slower? Then on top of that they allow batters to stand so far off the plate barely touching the batters box? If any part of your foot is not “in” the batters box then you should be considered “out” of the batters box. Baseball rule 5.04(b). Why does Senior Softball us a different rule?? Just curious as to when something will be done for defense and safety?
