Rufus first and most importantly get him a safe mask regardless of the price. Docter bills are much much more expensive than some of the best masks on the market.

All the leagues I have ever known or worked usually supply umpire equiptment. If not just about any local sports store will have a mask with a throat protector that should be suffice. Even a catchers mask can do.

There is a ton of information on the internet about proper stance and standing square to the plate so as to let your equipment properly protect you.

Good Luck
