    This document compares the key rules and terms of baseball, fastpitch softball, and slowpitch softball. It outlines differences in length of games, equipment like balls and bats, field layout including baselines and pitching distances, and rules regarding bases and pitching. The main differences are that baseball uses a harder ball thrown from a mound, while softball uses a larger, softer ball pitched underhand from a flat surface at shorter distances.
