When you work in the slot and know that if you get hit you will not feel it you can then concentrate on balls and strikes .
Now I am talking 120 km per hour plus here .
When I was young and stupid, I got hit in the shoulder without having a protector on. It was a men's A pitcher, who supposedly topped 90mph on a consistent basis. I thought my shoulder was broken.

Last game I ever did without a protector.
