The Rawlings Catchers Shoulder Cap (Model CAP) is a protective accessory engineered for baseball and softball catchers who require supplemental shoulder coverage against foul tips, wild pitches, and backswing contact during games and practices. Designed to attach securely to most catcher's chest protectors, this shoulder cap extends protection to the deltoid area where standard chest protector shoulder flaps may leave gaps. The Black colorway offers a professional, uniform-coordinated appearance that integrates seamlessly with any catcher's gear set. Constructed from high-impact resistant foam with a durable outer shell, this cap absorbs and disperses ball impact energy while maintaining a low-profile design that does not restrict throwing motion or head movement. The adjustable strap system ensures secure positioning throughout innings without shifting during blocking, throwing, or pop-up pursuit. Ideal for youth, high school, and adult recreational catchers at all skill levels, this shoulder cap delivers confidence-inspiring protection that allows aggressive receiving positioning without fear of shoulder injury from exposed areas.

Common Q&A's:
-
Will this shoulder cap fit my existing chest protector?
The universal attachment system is designed to integrate with most major brand catcher's chest protectors using adjustable straps and clips. However, some specialized or vintage chest protector designs may require modification for secure attachment. -
Does this replace the shoulder flaps on my chest protector or supplement them?
This shoulder cap is designed to supplement and extend the coverage of standard chest protector shoulder flaps, particularly protecting the outer deltoid area. It does not replace built-in shoulder protection but rather fills coverage gaps for enhanced safety. -
Is this shoulder cap required for youth league play?
Requirements vary by league and age division. While many youth leagues mandate full catcher's gear including chest protectors with shoulder coverage, supplemental shoulder caps are often recommended or required for additional protection against rising pitch speeds and foul ball impacts.
