Best players don’t wear them? Ever heard of a guy named Bryce Harper? Now go google some photos of him on base last season. It’s becoming a trend because guys are getting hurt by freak accidents. This can protect against ruining your season.
Just like the long cheek face guard wasn’t a thing on helmets until Giancarlo Stanton took a heater to the face. Now everyone is wearing them.
May as well be smart and protect our players if we can.
