I too am not a small guy (6'2", 300 pounds)...wear all the gear. Several years ago when I was young and stupid, I wouldn't wear my gear because it was hot. I took a FOUL BALL off the shoulder. The pitcher was throwing (men's A fastpitch) around 95 miles an hour. I'm lucky it wasn't broken...by the end of the game (30 minutes later) my shoulder was black and blue and swelling.
Today, I wear plate shoes, shin guards, cup, chest protector, mask with extended frame and extended throat protector, etc. Don't even do the little girls without it.
In fact, I would be less likely to get hit in a college game.
Let's face it, if we use the slot then we are going to get hit.
