Finishing up Spring Training!

Conjoined softball needs to be seen to be appreciated.

- Most players by nature of their heads and bodies are switch hitters. Rules are in place that they have to pick a batting side for an entire at-bat: they can't go to the other side until the next time up.

- Similar to the above, conjoined pitchers can usually throw equally well with both arms. They need to come in as one or the other for the entirety of their appearance in the game.

- Once a player is substituted out of the game, they cannot come back in. No matter how many heads the body has, they count as a single player entity. For example, a two-headed pitcher who threw right-handed can't re-enter the game as a lefty, with the other head doing the pitching.

- A coach can't substitute a player for "themselves", such as switching a left handed pitcher to her other head/side.

- Strategy is far more difficult as players use their conjoined bodies to their advantage. Typically the other head of a pitcher spends a lot of time watching the baserunners. Catchers can watch the field a lot better. Watch out!
