Fast pitch is considered the most competitive form of softball. It is the form of softball that was played at the Olympic Games in 1996, 2000, 2004, and 2008. The fast pitch style is also used in college softball and international competition. Pitchers throw the ball with an underhand motion at speeds up to 75 miles per hour (121 km/h) for women and up to 85 miles per hour (137 km/h) for men. The pitching style of fastpitch is different from that of slowpitch softball.
