The 2017 National Pro Fastpitch season was the 14th season of professional softball under the name National Pro Fastpitch (NPF) for the only professional women's softball league in the United States. From 1997 to 2002, NPF operated under the names Women's Pro Fastpitch (WPF) and Women's Pro Softball League (WPSL). Each year, the playoff teams battle for the Cowles Cup.

Milestones and events[]

The Dallas Charge announced that they would be relocating to San Marcos, Texas and changing their name to the Texas Charge.[1]

On January 16, 2017, the NPF announced that the ownership of the Pennsylvania Rebellion would be dissolving the team, effective immediately. All Rebellion players under contract were granted free agency.[2]

On February 1, the Village of Rosemont announced it would be assuming ownership of the Bandits from previous owner Bill Sokolis. The transaction included a $50,000 licensing fee paid to the NPF. Rosemont employee Toni Calmeyn will take over as general manager and will hire a new head coach.[3]

Later in February Softball Australia and NPF announced an agreement that will allow at least eight players from the Australia women's national softball team to play for the Bandits. This will increase the NPF's international profile, and allow the Australian players to compete against top-level talent.[4]

On May 2, 2017, NPF announced the addition of an expansion team, Beijing Shougang Eagles. Its roster is to be populated with members of China women's national softball team and selected American players. For 2017, the home half Beijing's schedule will be played in the home venues of the other NPF teams. Beijing is expected to announce an permanent US home location in the future.[5]

  • Team salary caps were increased from $150,000/team to $175,000. NPF clarified that only the amount paid to a player counts against the salary cap, eliminating "signing bonus[es], performance incentives, improved living conditions, et al."
  • The player minimum salary going forward is $3000.
  • Teams that have tagged an athlete with the Franchise Player Tag are allowed to negotiate beyond the established player value.
  • Extended a team's rights to retired player to permanent.

  • Removed the minimum amount for travel expenses.
  • Banned the use of bats that are not on an official list of NPF suppliers.
  • Previously, NPF pitching rules mirrored the NCAA rules. Going forward, they are to follow World Baseball Softball Confederation rules.
  • Previously, the penalties for an illegal pitch were a ball added to the batter's count and advancing baserunners one base. Beginning in 2017, the penalty is only the ball added to the count.
  • Player autograph sessions will continue in 2017, but teams must to make player safety a priority. Sessions were suspended briefly in 2016 due to concerns about player safety.
  • The 8th inning tie-breaker rule for doubleheaders previously applied to scheduled doubleheaders. In 2017, the rule will apply to all doubleheaders, including makeup doubleheaders.
