It is great that the trending use of fielding masks in college has pretty much removed the associated stigma for the younger players. However, I find it interesting that what happens in college ball is somehow considered relevant to what should happen in REC, HS, or TB. Coaches and parents need to remember that actions and expectations need to be aligned with the age and skill of the player. You cannot watch games on ESPN and then carry those expectations with you to your local field.
