The most I have been hit in one game this year has been three times, twice in unprotected spots. (Knuckles and thigh). The tough thing about the shot to the thigh was that I already had a bruise there from a previous shot just days earlier.
Last weekend I had something happen to me that I have never had happen before. Left handed batter up, and a future D1 pitcher pitching. The batter fouls the ball off right into my right knee. It hit so hard that it literally knocked my knee straight causing me to lose my balance. (I can hear the laughter now.) If that weren't bad enough, i actually suffered swelling of the knee and a big bruise, even though I was wearing my shinguards, which are more than adequate in the protection that they provide my knees.
