I much prefer the pitching rules in fast pitch. I'm only slightly exaggerating when I say that if the pitcher even looks at me the wrong way, it's an illegal pitch.

I used to ump low/entry level fast pitch, which basically meant the team with a girl who could pitch would dominate.   My strike zones got huge and I made no secret about that if kids were struggling to find plate.    The league wanted to get these kids swinging and not a walk fest.  If a kid hit the plate my mega zone didnt change anything.  Of course when came to bat to face a poor pitcher they better swing. Given 50min time slots I liked the objective.  Some parents just would not grasp this so I would make it crystal clear in pre-game.

ump made a bad call
Ya they blew that - not even close.Remember watching that & forgot the exact way the rule was structured but with the infielder peddling back the call on ball location wasn't even in question.Had to be at least 50 ft deep into the outfield

Judging a fly ball is an interesting skill.  It doesn't take long to master, in my experience, but initially it is nearly impossible until you have maybe 20 flies hit your way.

Coaching my sons U9 travel team, it's tough.  We practice it, every kid can catch it if you throw it, no matter how high.  The way it comes off the bat is totally different, and none of us are good enough to consistently hit fly balls into the outfield.  It works like 1/4 of the time, then the other 3/4 of the time we miss, hit a grounder, or a line drive

Ah, practice you need, hitting fly balls.  Or a fungo.

I'm pretty good at it, or used to be.  The strange thing is I bat left handed but hit fly balls right handed.

And you just thought I was weird.

I wonder if there's an evolutionarily-based equivalent that helps make that leap from "how in the hell" to "this is easy."

That's very weird, as different-handedness tends to only occur among actions above (like throwing a ball) vs below the waist (like bowling).  To have the same motion be comfortably done is odd.

there have been many players who throw right and bat left or vice versa

I bat (and golf, hockey, shoot basketball) left, but do everything else right.  Up until third grade, I was completely ambidextrous, to the point that I would write with my left hand on the left side of the paper, and transfer the pencil to my right hand in the middle, without even thinking about it. I had a teacher grind that out of me though.

I hit soft fly balls better right handed though.  Granted I miss or make soft contact just as often.  Left handed I just wind up hitting grounders or hard line drives.  Cannot hit soft fly balls at all with my correct handedness
