Not much you can do about the cup shots off the ground, no matter where you stand. If they have your name on them, your gonna get hit.

If your tired of getting your Bell Rung, switch to an HSM. Then you will hope you get hit on the cage, rather than anywhere else. Really ! Since switching to an HSM (6 years ago), and getting hit on the button a few times, I no longer flinch at pitches headed for my Head. You just don't worry about it, because it doesn't hurt. And I am talking 90+ mph fastballs, and foul balls.
