I can say that I've Never heard that type of shaming..
But I've heard an awful lot going the other way.
No kid should be shamed either way..
Certainly adults should know better than to say the things I posted in the first comment..
My DD does not pitch - is primarily a catcher but also plays corners and when she does she always wears her mask. She made the choice at 13 and believe me she has heard all of these and more - and she is a big tough kid who is as far from being afraid of the ball as a player can get. She just likes her face. Oh and BTW, she did get recruited and still wears her mask in the field.
