softball
The term refers to both the sport and the physical equipment used to play it. While it shares many rules with baseball, it is distinguished by the underhand pitching style and the size of the ball. In a sporting context, it is often associated with youth leagues, school sports, and recreational adult leagues.
There are two primary versions of the game: fastpitch, which is highly competitive and played at high speeds, and slow-pitch, which is more casual and common in corporate or community leagues.
In a metaphorical or journalistic context, a softball question is an easy, non-threatening question asked during an interview to make the subject look good or avoid conflict. This usage is common in politics and media, contrasting with a hard-hitting or probing question.
