Definition: 3-Pitch

A recreational variation of softball where each batter receives only three pitches. If they fail to hit the ball into play within those pitches, they’re out. 3-Pitch is designed for casual and social play, and eliminates the need for skilled pitching. In fact, the pitcher in 3-Pitch is typically a player from your own team! It’s the perfect combination of learning bat-to-ball skills, while keeping the games fast-paced and beginner-friendly.
