No one is to interfere with a live ball.
It seems to me that a person cannot shag balls without a glove, so if the protector must wear a glove, then it is a pretty good bet that he falls under the description of a ball shagger.
But your attitude begs the question, why are you so adamant that you would not require the protector to wear a batting helmet?

I'm not adamant that I'd require it. I don't require fielders to wear helmets either.
I'm an umpire, not someone who looks for every opportunity to inject personal views of safety into the game.
