I know this topic gets beat to death, and not really trying to revive it so much, but it occurred to me that I've never heard anyone say that a batter loses favor for wearing a shin guard or an elbow pad or the obvious batting helmet. Maybe someone here has mentioned it before. Has anyone ever heard a college coach address this notion? Seems like someone who's afraid to take a shot in the batter's box might be too skittish to hit effectively.
Pleased to say that PC was not advocating that DD stop wearing a mask. He thinks they are important. But also wants her to be aware of the recruiting environment, saying she will soon need to make a decision about it. I find it's a lot easier to make pejorative statements like "my DD won't cave to that pressure" before it starts to affect hopes and dreams on a personal level.
