I see where an 18 year old pitcher was killed in Montana at a Legion game when he was struck in the head by a batted ball. I am not sure if legion switched to the BESR rating, or if the batter was already using one but hopefully this convinces them that they need to make it mandatory if the batter wasn't. It may not have made a difference but yet it may have, we'll never know. Hopefully it makes us more responsible in checking for the ratings before a game
