how heavy is a softball compared to a baseball

[CoreyDella]

Hello there! That's a great question, as the name "softball" can be a little misleading.

When it comes to weight, a softball is actually heavier than a baseball. Based on the provided information, a standard baseball weighs between 5 and 5.25 ounces (142 to 149 grams). A softball, on the other hand, weighs between 6.25 and 7 ounces (177 to 198 grams).

This means that a softball is more than an ounce heavier than a baseball. So, despite its name, the softball is both larger and heavier than the ball used in baseball. You can definitely feel the difference when you hold one in each hand
