Bud, buy a West Vest, or a Honig's K1, but get GOOD protection. I was calling a 10 year old game with a friend who wore an old Rawlings protector. Same as a cathers but with shoulder caps. He took a foul ball that broke his collar bone in the 3rd and I had to finish the game alone. It doesn't matter how big you look, all that matters is how well protected you are.
At first I questioned a 10 year old could break a collarbone. But I once coached one who was clocked at 65 MPH, and with a cheap protector this could break a collarbone. He was nearly unhittable once we taught him a changeup.
