Never really understood why we make girls wear a mask, but same age group baseball they don’t wear mask? Why?
Maybe we aren’t teaching the girls how to play defense very well? i see them wearing them in the outfield?
Not excusing the behavior but it was my understanding that the pitching distance in fastpitch is smaller plus the bats are hotter. When you combine those two things you really should be wearing a mask. Anyone who thinks otherwise should stand on the pitcher's plate and let me hit ground balls at them with a fastpitch bat.
It has nothing to do with technique and practice, it's about physics.
