Arm position
I have a mild case of a genetic bone disorder that makes me a little more susceptible to broken bones than most people. Therefore, it is important that I protect myself as much as possible. No, I don't use an outside protector. However, when I drop into my stance at the pitch, I tuck my hands behind my knees. This puts the meat part of my arm facing outward so when I do get hit, it is in the muscle. It took me a while to find this, and it works rather well. It keeps my hands and fingers out of harm's way as well.
