[quote=Anonymous]Teach him “the pinch”. When he senses he’s about to get beaned, train his instincts to immediately turn inward toward the catcher while pinching his shoulder blades together to tighten up the muscles in his back which will protect his sensitive ribs, spine, and kidneys. Also look straight up to the sky to protect the back of his neck with his helmet. Done correctly, and he’ll take the pitched ball in the meat of his back, butt, or hamstrings and he’ll barely feel it. Let him bean you a bunch of times to show him the proper technique and that it’s really no big deal. Then bean him yourself starting with tennis balls, then golf balls, and then ~60mph baseballs. If you’re gonna be a baseballer, you’re gonna get hit every now and then. But if the anxiety is crippling for him, maybe he could 100% focus on pitching instead if he’s already a pitcher.[/quote]
