Used Schutt Catchers Chest Protector Red Junior

This is a junior-sized chest protector made by Schutt, designed for youth baseball or softball catchers. It is intended for younger players who need reliable torso protection without the weight or bulk of adult-level gear.

Key Features

Lightweight, youth-appropriate design

Junior sizing and a lighter build help younger players move easily while blocking, throwing, or shifting behind the plate.

Stable harness-style fit

Many Schutt models use an “H-Back” or harness-style strap system, which keeps the chest protector from riding up or shifting during play. This supports stability during quick movements such as blocking or popping up for a throw.

Solid padding and coverage

Provides protection for key areas including the sternum, ribs, and abdomen. The padding is designed to absorb impact from foul tips, rebounds, and low pitches.

Comfort and breathability

Youth-oriented gear from Schutt often includes breathable lining or airflow panels to help players stay cooler and more comfortable during long innings.

Proper junior fit

Sized specifically for younger athletes, offering coverage and mobility appropriate for their torso proportions. This helps prevent gaps in protection.

Best For

• Youth baseball or softball catchers, typically within the younger age ranges depending on body size.
• Players who need dependable protection and mobility for recreational, house league, or early competitive play.
• Parents or coaches looking for safe, affordable gear designed for kids rather than scaled-down adult equipment.

Considerations

• Junior protectors are not intended for older youth or players facing higher-velocity pitching; intermediate or adult gear may be required as skill level increases.
• A chest protector is only part of a full catching setup; proper safety requires a helmet with mask, throat guard, and shin guards. •
• Always ensure sizing is correct, with full coverage over the chest and stomach and minimal shifting during movement.
