Sam I find it ironic you are so cavalier regarding potential injury here when you get on your soapbox for so many other potential injuries?
Getting hit by a softball travelling 56mph once will result in a bruise that will go away rather quickly. Its a nuisance and not an injury. The ball coming off of a bat travels much faster back at the pitcher. Sometimes irony can be so.....ironic.
The coach needs to ignore the situation. Its players policing players.
