May have posted it before, but when my daughter played middle school ball, they had an ump show up with no gear on at all. Was an older gentleman who said something to the coach about these kids dont throw hard enough to get hurt. Little did he know that both or our pitchers were club pitchers throwing well into the 50's.
I took one in the mask last night on a foul tip that rattled me for a second, and the girl was throwing maybe 45. I have been hit before by faster pitchers and not really felt it, but they have all been glancing blows. This one got me square on the upper bar and the ball bounced back out into the field. Im sure glad I had my mask on.
