Reply to "Catchers Bag Recommendation for High School"

Long hikes are the norm from parking to the field for our home field (on game days anyway) as well as many schools in our league so our catchers almost always choose wheels. BackstopDad gave some excellent points against wheels. Each situation is different. Hockey bags are great from a size/capacity standpoint. Some are even overkill. The only thing it may not provide is bat slots if he carries any.

I wouldn't worry so much about the "good impression" aspect. HS baseball players ride each other about everything... and a new freshman makes a great target. If it's not the bag, it will be something else. Usually, the more they ride him, the more they like him. Just make sure he has the heads up and is prepared to take it. You will need to be more concerned with the other things 18 yo's talk about at practice every day
