The joy of swinging the bat, the thrill of sprinting to a base, and, of course, the unmatched satisfaction of pitching a perfect strike are all part and parcel of America's favorite pastime. But for parents, these moments of pride are often mixed with concern, especially when it comes to the safety of their budding baseball stars.

Imagine the scene: a youth baseball player, eyes focused and feet set, releasing the ball. As a parent, you feel a mixture of confidence, anticipation, and curiosity.
