For those interested, the ISC men's world championship is showing games on their YouTube channel (free). The games will get better during the week (it's a 8 day tournament). But for those who've never seen a men's FP game, it's a neat opportunity. Hill United Chiefs are ranked #1, with Adam Folkard on the rubber. He is the best pitcher in the world, also the fastest, topping speeds at 86 MPH or so. My former team, NY Gremlins are #2. Several 2nd place finishes over the years (mostly losing to Hill United), the Gremlins are trying to make this year the one. They have the team to do it, having won the National Championship last weekend.
A couple things you'll all notice: most of the men have severe crow hops. Despite what gets written, it's not "legal" in men's fastpitch. It's that nobody cares. "Let them throw" is the mantra. More on that another time. 2nd.. you'll notice men still use a white ball, specifically made for men's FP by Worth.
I thought some of you may wanna see this. As I said, the games will get better as the week goes on.
