We had a recent scare (groin injury) that could’ve been much worse. I know many infielders don’t like wearing cups but for those that do can anyone suggest an easy wearing one that doesn’t reduce mobility?

Years ago all infielders, pitchers, catcher used metal cups.
During a Stan Musial Championship game in Battle Creek, MI. Our SS fielded a "hard line" drive with his cup and the noise resonated thru out the Stadium.
At the end of the inning, our SS arrived at the dugout, removed the cup, use a wood bat to "hammer" out the dent.
"run don't walk" to your Sporting Goods store.

Whenever I get hit there as an umpire - after oof - it's usually, best $10 I ever spent...
I believe the crew at ESPN replayed the sound a couple times from an umpire that took one there on a short hop in one of the first 2 games on Saturday...
My son never complains about the titanium alloy cup made by Shock Doctor. He's primarily a C and also pitches and a little IF.

My catcher son uses it as well. It's the best one he's ever had.
