There is a reason car safety is not evaluated by these standards, and professional tests are done instead. The protection provided by different types of mask is no different.
Bad analogy. Car accidents have too many variables. Try again.

Yes, but it was by an Assistant Coach, using a Thunder Stick.

Really though, we aren't talking about MLB pitchers here. We are talking primarily HS and under. But in any case, I'll take my chances in an HSM. Knowledge is power, and I am very powerful in my HSM !
