Hi thread! I signed up for the rec slow pitch softball team at work. The most experience I’ve had with anything resembling this sport is quoting Kang (Kodos?) saying "as a young boy I dreamed of being a base ball". The OP says baseball and softball equipment are different. I have a ball. Gonna grab a glove and a bat. What should I get? What should I avoid? This is the rec-est of rec leagues, if that helps.

Ended up with a 13" glove and an exactly $30 bat. Thanks thread! And yep 12" softball. I did think to check the league rules for allowed bats. I’m in Canada and our national association hides the approved bat list behind a login wall??? but yeah there’s a logo to look for so it’s ez pz. I see what you mean about someone having some hilarious $$$ bat but I think this team is mostly scrubs so I'm not gonna count on it. Last year they won at most 1 game, and we're talking the most recreational of rec leagues available to non-children.

It’s surprisingly hard to hit a sphere with a cylinder! Who knew?? Learning curve looks like a mountain from here, I can't imagine dealing with actual pitching. Been throwing around and batting a bit for practice and it’s really fun. Might take me awhile to get used to the standing around. And if our first team practice is any indication, we'll be spending a looooot of time in the field. Yay rec league!
