I'm a 3yr guy now
And I used my GD stance in all the games I did last year about a total of 65 or so. This was all level of ball from 12 - 20yrs old and some senior ball. I'm using it in Canada and the level of ball is VASTLY inferior to what you would face anywhere in the states if you are dealing with travelling teams. I am 6'3" tall and about 300lbs, so I am quite the target, I got hit by the ball on probably 1-2 times a game, 90% of the time in the shinpads as catchers missed the ball or it was fouled off. Most of the other shots were in the Head. Prior to GD I would be hit 1-2 times in the legs a game, 1-2 times in the upperbody and head during the game. So my numbers are WAY Way down.
This past season I actually took one in the hand, hurt, but no more than taking one in the forearm. Which I did - 2-3 times a season before switching.
