I'm 6'3" 275, work the slot and obviously
a huge target--- I get hit a lot too.
My gear keeps me fairly safe, even when
a catcher sets up on the outside of the plate.
A few years ago I got hit on my left hand
by a foul ball that bounced up out of the dirt
and my wedding band cut my finger.
After that I started working with tucking
my hands behind my thighs. It works.
I've since seen a few major league baseball
umps who do the same thing !
