I can sort of (but not really) understand it for LL stuff. He wears a westvest for high school and lighter chest protector for LL. I certainly like my knees too much to even take a LL foul ball. Obviously he has never taken one squarely off the knee.

When I was coaching 13/14 PONY, there was a local guy who rolled without shin guards. I asked him about it, and he said he just got behind the catcher, and had never been hit. So it got me thinking.

I had my catcher squat down about a foot off the plate. Not move over, but start there. Sure enough, this PU went with him, and called those pitches strikes all game long. Needless to say, we won all of those games.

What a bonehead.

I use the McDavids, and when it is brutally cold , I think that is all season in Illinois, I wear a pair of windstoppers with them. Started wearing them in football and I wear them more in baseball season.

When you guys wear your tights behind the plate, how does the cup fit? I wore a pair of compression shorts with a jock strap on the outside holding my cup and it didn't feel like it protected my "guys." It felt like it rode up and they were hanging below the cup itself.

My summer tights have a cup pocket and it feels fine. My winter tights are long underwear with a standard jock and cup over. Also feels fine. In fact, I recently wore this combination and was quite comfortable. You using a bannana cup?

Put the cup on under the tights.
