"Son, you have to stop those. Got it?"

At the next half-inning, I am going to tell the coach that he needs to have a talk with his catcher.

If I get hit again, I take hold of the catcher's back strap and say something like "this strap right here makes a great handle. I am going to start using it to stop the ball if you don't."

If that doesn't fix the problem, "Coach, get me a catcher."
