My view is to not skimp on the mask, get a decent mid priced chest protector (not a catchers chest protector), always wear a cup and find some steel toed shoes. You can save on shin guards, even wear catchers stuff.
If he is serious, most major umpire gear suppliers have reasonably priced starter packages. Check that out. I would not use the league supplied gear at LL Majors or above.
