I personally have worn contacts and I have an astigmatism. I used them pretty much only for cycling and running. I could not get used to them and I eventually went back to glasses. The weighted part of the contact would kind of "float" in my eye and really irritate and blur my vision.
My son (college soph) wears RX Oakleys to pitch. It's hit first season doing so, after he told us the he had trouble picking up the signs during night games. He is happy with the improvement but he does have the usual complaints about glasses. Sweat, smudging, glare, staying put on his face during his delivery, etc.
