Since there's not a batter involved, I don't think much protection is needed. I don't even know if I will go with shin guards. I just see the other folks catching with them.
I played firstbase as a kid and as in adult playing slow pitch softball. I'm not worried about my ability to catch her pitches. Jennie Finch throws in the high 60s, so I think I can handle my daughter. If not, then we'll see.
