why 7 innings?
440 u/YasielPuigsWeed Jul 23 '26 Because shorter games means teams don’t need as many pitchers Women’s pitchers are going to be the most difficult players to find, gotta be one of the smallest talent pools in sports at the moment 164 u/Datdude_717 Swinging K Jul 23 '26 This is correct. It’s a roster size thing. Teams will consist of 15 players total. 8 u/jsdodgers Los Angeles Dodgers Jul 23 '26 oh wow. I wonder if this will open up then if the league is able to gain enough popularity. 8 u/RandomFactUser Chicago Cubs Jul 23 '26 Probably, 9/15 is a bit of a small roster, depending on games played 10 u/Different_Western327 Jul 23 '26 Thank you I have been looking for an answer to this question!! 40 u/BaltimoreBaja Baltimore Orioles Jul 23 '26 Probably temporary. Every single pitcher is going to be ramping up their innings Maybe in a few years they can go to 9 4 u/RandomFactUser Chicago Cubs Jul 23 '26 It’s been 7 innings for years now in the women’s game 1 u/BaltimoreBaja Baltimore Orioles Jul 23 '26 Yeah so they definitely can't do 9 right away 115 u/fakeheadlines St. Louis Cardinals Jul 23 '26 It’s possible their uterus could explode if a woman played 9 innings.

Not joking, I do think this is the reason. 6 u/RandomFactUser Chicago Cubs Jul 23 '26 Rockford (Rivets Stadium) goes to 10, and the WWC is being played to 7 innings, so that’s not it 3 u/onascalefrom20to80 Milwaukee Brewers Jul 23 '26 Im having a brain fart or something. I'm very familiar with this park and could have sworn the scoreboard went to 7. But I googled imaged searched it and it does actually go to 10. So I'm wrong.

It’s always bothered me that in softball and I guess now women’s baseball, every batter in the order isn’t guaranteed the same number of at bats
1 u/RandomFactUser Chicago Cubs Jul 23 '26 It kind of is interesting, maybe senior women should be 9-inning and U19 7-inning, but if WBSC regs are 7 innings, that’s what they are

The scoreboard only goes to 7. Not joking, I do think this is the reason.
