The only bias I see is against players who do not have skills, specifically hitting. If you can hit and have the grades you will get recruited. I think in most instances the mask a convenient excuse for those without skills. There are so many opportunities out there that the idea that you cannot get a ride despite having the requisite skills simply because you wear a mask is pretty far fetched. I said it before, I challenge someone to present evidence of the coach of a reputable program going on record that they will not recruit a player regardless of all other factors simply because she wears a mask.
This is not "on the record", but I can tell you in June 2014, DD was at a "prospects only" camp, 12 players total, for a top 20 D1. DD was personally invited by the HC. During a scrimmage at the camp, the HC approached DD and asked her why she was still wearing a mask. Makes me believe her wearing a mask was a negative to this HC.
