I am a competitive fast-pitch sofball player. The rules for creating a batting line-up are... (I'm going to say what kind of player you would put in each slot.) 1. Someone who is a fast runner, and has very good shortball (bunting and slapping). This person is usually a lefty (bats left handed). 2. The second batter should also be a fast runner, but should be very smart, and patient. This person should be able to hit, bunt, slap, push, drag, and sacrifice. Her job is to move the first batter around, and hopefully get on base. So, this batter should definitely have good instincts. 3. The number three hitter should be a big hitter. This girl's job is to get batter(s) 1 and/or 2 home. 4. and 5. Both of these batters should be big girls and are what we call "Powerhouses". These girls should be powerful hitters, who could bring in more runs. 6. Slot six is more of a laid back slot. This batter should be a quicky. And, she should be able to hit to the right side alot. This helps the runners advance, while the ball is going the opposite direction. 7. and 8. Someone who is a good hitter and an overall good batter. 9. This batter should almost directly reflect the number two batter, because in most cases, this hitter will be before the "slapper". So, the # 9 batter bunts to get on base, and then the "slapper" slaps, and gets on. Then, the all around good player smashes one out. 10. Batter number ten is an oppositional hitter, (EP, EH, DH, DP)

What makes a good softball batting order?
in order to create a solid offensive line up in softball, one has to understand the strengths and weaknesses of his/her players. The lead off or first batter must be one of your most consistant batters so that they can regularly get on base without having to sacrifice and out. Your 2nd batter should also be consistant but primarily a good bunter and regularly advance runners to the next base in order to put them in scoring position. Typically they are fast along with the lead off batter. The 3,4,5, and sometimes 6th batters are your power house of the line up and therefore consist of the best hitters on the team.. usually go for power. the last batter is typically another consistant hitter in order to strengthen the lower half of the line up. The most important part however, is understanding the trengths of each player so that as a coach you know strategically what to do offensively if things do not go as planned in the line up. You must be able to improvise and have faith in all 9 batters in order to be successful.

How does an umpire work out who bats first in softball?
An umpire has nothing to do with the batting order. This is up to the coach to insure his players are batting in the correct order. Your coach will give a copy of your line up to the umpire and the other team. If a batter is out of order then it's up to the other team to bring this to the umpires attention before the next batter gets to the plate. If they do identify someone is out of order, in time, then the batter is out. If they fail to bring it to the umpires attention in time then there is no penalty.
Does a team bat around when the ninth batter comes to the plate or when the tenth batter comes to the plate?
Batting around the order happens when the 10th batter comes to the plate (actually the first batter up in the line-up)
How do you get three outs with only two batters up to batt?
Anytime a player is skipped in the batting order and it is recgonized then the batter whos spot they are in the lineup is ruled out. Therefore if you skip a batter in an inning and it is pointed out then the other 2 batters get out, you would have 3 outs with only 2 players actually batting. i.e, You are due up the 3rd, 4th, 5th spots in the lineup. When the inning starts, say #4 batter goes to the plate and receives a pitch (not put in play) --- the umpire or other team realizes your team "batted out of order" then the #3 batter would be ruled out (without ever coming to the plate), and your #4 batter would remain batting, say he flies out, #5 batter comes up and flies out --- 3 outs, only 2 batters
How do you know when it is your turn to bat in softball?
Well in my league, the coach has a batting line-up and its just a list of the players in order that you are going to bat so basically, just bat when it gets to your turn.
