I'm sure someone will opine that the catcher already failed to catch the ball, and shouldn't be protected. I will state that the batter already failed to make contact with pitched ball, and has less right to be protected.

Yes, I like that. Especially when the batter swung at a pitch that bounced in front of the plate!
