I bought a batters forearm protector that I use on my left forearm .. and it works fine. I dont wear on both - just the one for the majority right batters. I am not concerned about the look, but I think it looks fine. I grew tired of getting hit in the forearm in fp softball and started wearing it. I wear a bicep protector on my left bicep but that can't be seen. Now doing baseball, I also wear the same arm protection. I dont see a need to get injured or even hurt just to "look MLB cool"; not to mention I dont get paid enough. Batters may take one for the team, but I wont.

FP Softball umps dont wear shorts - SP Softball umps can (I believe).

Big 5 sporting goods, under 7 bucks for forearm protection... you dont need to wear shin guards on your arms; which I agree would look funny.

I work slot not GD.
