I never hit fastpitch but as a lefty you probably wouldn't have much fun trying to pick up the ball (or hit in general) against Chris Sale (or the like) with his arm slot (the ball would be released from almost behind you )I only played softball, but was fortunate enough to hit off a baseball pitcher as well. I agree picking up the ball from pitchers hand, much easier in baseball. Regardless high heat is really tough to hit, baseball or softball, and the hot zone diagrams prove that. I am confident that hot zone diagrams would show the samething for softball. Be selective with < 2 strikes, look for a hitters pitch.
In any case hitting high pitches with velocity is difficult regardless.
