Question
Why is slo-pitch underhand?
Last updated: September 6, 2025
Answer
Slo-pitch is also underhand, but pitches are delivered in a high arc toward the batter rather than using a windmill motion. This slower, arcing style makes the ball easier to hit, so slo-pitch is a very beginner friendly sport.
