Dan, you made some good points. When does wearing the extra body protection end? Batters in cocoons not worried about being hit. Pitchers not having to learn how to pitch up and in because they know they can’t hurt the batter, yes pitchers have fears too. We may not want to admit it but fear is the only thing keeping some minor leaguers out of the majors. Kids have to learn how to protect themselves.
