I have a Canon Rebel and I shoot my daughter's softball games in the full auto setting.

I bet too much blur on the ball in auto setting.

Not too much blur on the pitching photos. Sometimes a little blur on the ball when batting. I'm sure there's a better setting to help with that.

might depend on the lens but daytime manual mode - say 1/2500 auto ISO

What lens are you using?

There is never one universal setting— depends on the light. Cloudy or sunny? In the shadows or light?

What lens? What focal length? What’s your maximum aperture?

Generally speaking:
-servo autofocus
-maximum aperture of your lens if it’s a zoom lens. (Go with 2.8 on a prime)
-auto iso
-get shutter speed as high as possible without raising your ISO too high. Aim for at least 1/800. But if there is enough light, get it up to 1/2000.
