Had the same thing happen to me with a 16 or 17 year old. Before the game starts he's telling me what a good catcher he was etc. Take one in the left forearm. I got his so hard I couldn't move my fingers to work the indicator. Luckily there was ice availqable so I was able to ice it between innings. I kept telling him " #25 you better be swinging when you come up". However, By the time he did come up I was feeling better and told him I was no longer mad at him. Another time I was doing 13 and 14 year olds. The team changes pitchers and I get a kid who can't catch. I get hit about 4 or 5 times in an inning. Before the inning is over I tell the coach to get someone else in here because I have to work in the morning. Coach is mad at me because I embarassed his player. I told the coach no you embaraased your player because you put him in a situation he couldn't handle. I had a new catcher the next inning.
