Did not want to highjack another thread so copied this here.
I have mentioned this to DD’s Manager a few time and it fallen on deaf ears. Some of the Players are getting to the skill level that some of the coaches are going to get hurt because they do not protect themselves or pay close enough attention to what is going on.
We do not use a screen but I am on high alert when a few of the batters are up to bat and always more or less back 40’. Manager does the stand 30’ from the plate soft toss things and some of the balls zip by his head before his glove starts moving. Keeps doing it. In a longer spring season I am afraid my DD is going to kill him or one of the other parent helpers.
He is also one of those idiots that plays C without a mask against live hitters, never have understood this at any level.
On my list to give it another shot this year but I am pretty sure it will fall on deaf ears again.
a coach who isn't too insecure to wear a facemask to catch
