It can be a painful thing. People dont breed and train catchers from birth like they do pitchers. Some of these pitchers are so advanced, you become their personal back stop. When a 12 y/o girl can throw 45-50 mph, that hurts.
Last season there was a 12 y/o in my league who was clocked at 58mph and they had a first year catcher behind the plate, it was not a fun season...
