Perhaps all the LL catchers you've had catch everything. Not the case with me.
I have found through the years that when the catcher sets up way outside, the pitcher invariably throws a fastball inside and hits me in the left arm/elbow. If a pitcher has any kind of control, I don't care where the catcher sets up.
It always seems like the catchers I get that do this can't catch, and it's always with a wild pitcher. The ball rarely ever finds my gear. I have really good gear, but it should go on my arms, fingers, stomach or thighs, because that's where I usually get nailed.
