    I recently started seeing this on TV and it seems like the little league is alot better than the adults. But why do they throw so many balls and hit so many fouls? Do they truly suck or am I missing something?

    ya olympic softball players do look worse than the little league players, but i think the differences are because of the (much) higher level of olympic competition. the olympians probably hit more foul balls because the pitching is harder to hit, and the pitchers probably throw more balls because the hitters are better and if they throw right down the middle the hitters will crush it.
