Question

My son is 14 and is on a youth baseball team, he is a catcher, and during practice catchers are only required to wear a catchers mask while catching, I would like him to wear all the protective equipment he can, but he says he doesnt need it because it is just practice. What areas should he be worried about getting hurt in particular while catching without protection?

Answer 1

mostly his head but also his chestal section. once my sister got hit there and it knocked all the air out of her and her heartbeat was abnormal for about a minute. she was ok but had a huge bruise for about a week and a half. even though his hand may be covering that area, the ball may still hit him.

Answer 2

Hello, one of my siblings also had the same problem.  You absolutely must have him wear a mask.  When catching without protection he should be worried about his face, and his private area which should require a cup.  It can be very dangerous if he misses a catch and can really hurt him if he is not wearing safety equipment.  Hope this helped!

Answer 3

well if he doesn't wear a cup you may not have grandchildren
