Answer

In slo-pitch, the ball must be pitched underhand in a high, arcing trajectory. Most leagues require the ball to reach a peak height between 6 and 12 feet before it falls toward the batter.

This arc ensures that the pitch is slow enough to be hittable, and encourages longer swings. The slower speed of the ball helps make slo-pitch a more accessible sport that anyone can try!
