collar bone shots
In my long career I have taken 9 shots to the collar bone area. The worst was a Chad Hutchinson 90+ fastball that the catcher was overmatched on and never touched. This was back in the day before the advent of the Riddell Power or the West Vest type protector. I was wearing the old POS (we know what that stands for) Charlie Williams BB204, which has very little in the way of collar bone protection.
Even with properly adjusted straps, it would shift just a bit, and expose the collar bone area just enough for a ball to find the edge. Black and blue for nearly 2 weeks from that one. Now with the hard shell type protectors, this problem is covered.
