You need a lot more pitchers for baseball than for softball, so you need a lot more players for baseball. If you have smaller turnout you can still field a softball team.
Throwing overhand is much tougher on the arm, and needs a lot more rest between outings. A high school softball could get by with 2 good pitchers. A high school baseball teams 3 starters and 2 relievers at least. A really good team probably wants 3-4 starters and 3-4 relievers.
