I will start off by saying I know nothing of catchers gear. I only played first base through college, and never paid attention, lol. My son is now 13 and is catching on a 15u team. Last year he wore the Allstar gear for little league and on his blocks he often felt the pitches in the dirt, the kids are just throwing that hard, and his body hasnt quite caught up. But man can he block a pitch. He was wanting some new gear for the spring and I saw this add on ebay, and we found one in a store. He loved it because it was hard and didnt think he would feel it. Would this be ok to use? Or is there something else that has a hard plate over the chest area. Any help is much appreciated. Here is the ebay link and I have no knowledge of the seller, just using the link. Champro Chest protector
