Not sure how to ask this?
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?
You're son definitely should be wearing a protective cup. Although a chest protector and knee guards are advisable anytime he is behind the plate with a batter in the box, he should be wearing a protective cup at all times. Pitchers, particularly young pitchers, often have spotty control and even the best catcher is at risk of a ball bouncing up and causing very painful injuries, this risk is multiplied when a batter is in the box whether in a game situation or just batting practice.
