I was umpiring a rec game and the catcher didn’t move to catch the ball and it hit me. The pitch was decent and she didn’t even make a move to catch it, she just stayed in her stance. She did it on every pitch, just stayed in her stance and didn’t make a movement. They switched catchers after the inning.
Never seen anything like it.
10U rec ball, we had a newbie P and a newbie C in the game (my DD was injured). The ump got hit 3 times in one inning, came over to our bench and asked if we had anyone else who could catch. Unfortunately for him, we didn't. The girl was trying, but not having much success. 2 weeks later, she was much better.
