Was talking with a college coach last night and she said that they do not use a mile run for a fitness test since softball emphasizes quick bursts vs. endurance. They use a 300 yard shuttle run to time the girls, and have different standards depending on the player and her position.
That makes total sense! DD's old coach had her do a shuttle run against one of the outfielders (it was a friendly bet) and DD beat her twice, but I'm confident that girl would have crushed DD in the mile. BTW, DD ended up playing a lot of outfield after that.
