slowpitch facemask

Working a good slot can help as Mike pointed out. However, it's not always perfect.

Case in point - August of this year yours truely took one on the upper lip that made me think I'd lost teeth. I split my lip on the inside, and was spitting blood continuously for about an hour, and sporadically for at least 3 days. It's healed up now, but there's still a little bump on the inside of my lip.

First time I've been hit in the face working SP.

I believe bkbjones took one to the face this year as well....

It happens... but working the mechanics will help reduce the chance of getting hit.
