First pitch of the first game of the high school baseball season. The catcher ducked a high strike when the batter offered and missed, the ball went between my throat gaurd and adams apple I was done for the rest of the game because I went to the doctor. My partner finished the game. behind the pitcher. He started out behind the plate but was beat up so bad by that catcher he had to move. He latter told me that the catcher was afraid of being hit by the bat when it was swung. Players should not be out there if they are scared. My throat was bruised and hurt for the next three weeks. I also had to overcome a slight flinching problem after that. I worked though it. If I ever have a Problem with a catcher now I tell the coach change him or I will leave.
