The set includes the Fastpitch Hockey Style Headgear, the Fastpitch Optimus Chest Protector, and the Fastpitch Optimus Leg Guards -- all sized specifically for the youth age 9 to 12 range with a headgear fitting hat sizes 6 1\/2 to 7, a 13.5-inch chest protector with fastpitch-specific pattern, and 13.5-inch double knee leg guards with cantilever inner liner. Retail boxed. Available in black at SPC Sports.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe fastpitch-specific chest protector pattern is the defining design distinction of the CBSF9 -- unlike standard baseball chest protectors that use a gender-neutral body geometry, the Fastpitch Optimus Chest Protector features a fastpitch-specific pattern engineered for the different upper body geometry of fastpitch catchers, delivering a better anatomical fit, more natural freedom of movement for the throwing and receiving mechanics specific to the fastpitch catching position, and a more comfortable overall wearing experience for youth fastpitch players ages 9 to 12.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe one-piece energy-absorbing chest protector construction distributes ball impact forces across the entire protector surface rather than concentrating them at seams or connection points, delivering consistent and reliable protection across every contact zone from the collarbone to the midsection for young fastpitch catchers at the youth age 9 to 12 competitive level where pitch velocity and ball contact frequency are meaningfully higher than at the younger T-Ball and coach pitch levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe fully adjustable harness and shoulder cap accommodate different upper body sizes and shapes within the youth age 9 to 12 range, giving coaches and parents the ability to customize the fit of the chest protector for each individual player as they grow through this age range rather than relying on a fixed adjustment that leaves the protector loose or shifting on different body types.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe Fastpitch Hockey Style Headgear features a durable hockey-style ABS shell with a multi-density pad system and AirTech ventilation system that allows air to circulate through the helmet interior and escape during play, keeping youth fastpitch catchers cooler and more comfortable through warm weather game days and extended practice sessions at the hat size 6 1\/2 to 7 range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe Fastpitch Optimus Leg Guards feature a high-performance shin plate with strategically placed vent holes for airflow and a cantilever inner liner that minimizes impact energy transferred to the shin on every blocked ball and wild pitch -- giving youth fastpitch catchers the lower leg protection they need to block aggressively and develop proper blocking technique at the age 9 to 12 level where pitchers are throwing with significantly more velocity than at younger age groups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe 13.5-inch double knee leg guard configuration is specifically sized for the youth ages 9 to 12 range -- the double knee design provides additional knee cushioning and impact distribution for catchers at this level who are crouching through longer game days and taking more frequent ball contact on the lower leg, while the 13.5-inch shin length provides the appropriate coverage for youth leg proportions at this age range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe complete set arrives retail boxed, making it ready to present and deploy without any additional sourcing or packaging steps -- a practical format for leagues, programs, recreational teams, and parents purchasing a complete fastpitch catcher's kit in one transaction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThis product comes with a 1 Year Manufacturer Warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eFor more fastpitch catcher's gear and protective equipment, browse the full \u003ca class=\"underline underline underline-offset-2 decoration-1 decoration-current\/40 hover:decoration-current focus:decoration-current\" href=\"https:\/\/spcsports.com\/collections\/spc-sports-fastpitch\"\u003efastpitch collection at SPC Sports\u003c\/a\u003e.

The CBSF9 includes the Fastpitch Hockey Style Headgear (CMHXUBW) fitting hat sizes 6 1\/2 to 7, the 13.5-inch Fastpitch Optimus Chest Protector (CPF103) with fastpitch-specific pattern and fully adjustable harness, and the 13.5-inch double knee Fastpitch Optimus Leg Guards (CGF106) with cantilever inner liner -- a complete head-to-shin catching system retail boxed for youth fastpitch catchers ages 9 to 12.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eHow does the CBSF9 differ from the CBSF8? The CBSF9 is sized for ages 9 to 12 with a 13.5-inch chest protector (CPF103) and 13.5-inch double knee leg guards (CGF106) for catchers who have outgrown the younger kit. The CBSF8 is sized for ages 6 to 9 with a 12-inch chest protector (CPF104) and 12-inch single knee leg guards (CGF112). Both include the same CMHXUBW headgear fitting hat sizes 6 1\/2 to 7.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eWhy does the CBSF9 use double knee leg guards while the CBSF8 uses single knee? The double knee configuration in the CBSF9 provides additional knee cushioning and impact distribution for catchers ages 9 to 12 who are crouching through longer game days, taking more frequent ball contact on the lower leg, and playing at pitch velocities that are meaningfully higher than at the younger age 6 to 9 level -- making the additional knee protection a worthwhile upgrade for this age group.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Champro","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44441853460522,"sku":"CBSF9","price":308.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0590\/4000\/6186\/files\/CBSF_1_black_b3bd10e7-1e08-4002-974b-c067bf4eed26.jpg?v=1780939419","url":"https:\/\/spcsports.com\/products\/champro-fastpitch-softball-catchers-set-cbsf9","provider":"SPC Sports","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
