I disagree. In my experience with girls sports, Softball is probably the hardest sport to master and that's why so many other sports dwarf it in popularity (in my area anyway)
I agree. I think baseball and softball are more skill sports. Its harder to take an athlete at an older age and make them a softball/baseball player than volleyball, basketball, lacrosse, football. If they have the right physical attributes with no skills, I'd say its easier for them to play those other sports than baseball/softball.
