Seriously? They make jackets that are specifically used to teach this (to allow players to "practice" getting hit without injury). This is a normal part of softball camps that my kids have been to as young as 8.
I can't speak for baseball, so maybe it is the macho thing (kinda like wearing masks which are mandatory for softball in middle and high school from pitcher, 1B and 3B here).
