Why are female softball players so fat?
When watching college softball games on TV, I've noticed that many female players have larger body types. What factors contribute to this observation? Is there a competitive advantage in having a more robust physique in the context of softball?

Most likely its just the uniform

But yeah alot of big women do play softball
Every sport has it bigs and every sport has it smalls

There’s not a lot of vigorous activity in softball compared to soccer, volleyball or tennis where players need to be agile. Softball is a sport that overweight women can do with relative ease.
Softball player? Hon, it’s all muscle. Muscle ways more than fat. You’re not fat, trust me. Plus, weight doesn’t say if you’re fat or not. I know girls who weigh less than others yet look fatter.
Which ones have you been watching? Because 8/10 players are small. There aren’t alot of big players. You might find a few, but other than that…nope.
Choice… plain and simple. They have access to the same trainers the baseball players have, yet you see far more chunky softball plaers than baseball…
When you play on an infield that small, having more girth gives a distinct advantage.
