I do the same with catchers who get their bell rung on a foul ball.

do you ever address your catchers by name (it's not that hard to learn names of players you see often)?
I will hold up play as long as is needed. Usually though in JO a coach will come out if there is a obvious injury......if it is not......I will give the catcher or batter as much time as they need.
