Beats the heck out of me. I don't tell them how to coach. I just officiate the game.

How do you hit the ball and the catchers mask at the same time plus miss the glove? Back swing contact would be nothing.

I don't know how but it happened trust me. It was not the backswing as the swing had an abbreviated follow through. Maybe it hit the "wings" that stick out on the sides of the HSM, but it definently hit mask first. Two distinct sounds even from the "C" position of bat hitting the plastic of an HSM and then the ping of bat on ball

Oh, it was a HSM. That makes more sense. I was trying to figure out how a regular catchers mask got broken, as they are made of metal.
