The high-performance PE shin plate delivers improved flexibility and durability without added weight, vent holes keep airflow moving through the guard during play, and the cantilever lining system minimizes the impact transferred to the shin on every ball contact. Sold as a pair in four colorways at SPC Sports -- black, navy, royal, and scarlet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe high-performance polyethylene shin plate delivers superior flexibility compared to rigid plastic shell designs so the guard follows the natural movement of the lower leg through every crouch, block, and pop-up without restricting mobility, while the material's inherent durability resists cracking, deforming, and breaking down under the repeated ball and foul tip contact that intermediate competitive catchers absorb through a full season of middle school and early high school games and practices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe double knee cap design provides two layers of knee coverage at the primary contact surface where catchers make ground contact during blocking positions and take ball contact during crouching play -- giving intermediate catchers the additional cushioning and impact distribution at the knee that extended seasons of developing catching mechanics demand at the middle school and early high school competitive levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe cantilever lining system minimizes impact transference to the shin by suspending the hard PE shell slightly away from the leg on the impact side, creating a buffer layer that absorbs and disperses ball contact forces before they reach the shin -- reducing the sting and bruising that intermediate catchers experience when taking direct hits on the lower leg from blocked pitches and foul tips at increasing competitive velocities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eVent holes in the shin plate allow airflow to circulate through the guard during active play, releasing heat from the contact surface between the guard and the lower leg so intermediate catchers stay cooler and more comfortable through extended innings and tournament days without the heat buildup that solid-shell designs retain against the leg during warm weather play.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe 14.5-inch intermediate shin length provides the appropriate coverage from knee to ankle for catchers in the intermediate age and body size range, giving developing catchers a properly fitted leg guard that sits in the correct anatomical position without gapping above the ankle or riding up below the knee during active play behind the plate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eAt 2.12 lbs per pair the CG104 delivers intermediate double knee protection in a weight profile that never adds meaningful fatigue to the developing catcher's lower body load through a full game or tournament day -- keeping intermediate catchers mobile and explosive through every pop-up, block, and throw from behind the plate.\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 baseball and softball catcher's gear, 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-baseball-catchers-gear\"\u003ebaseball catcher's gear collection at SPC Sports\u003c\/a\u003e.

A double knee cap provides two layers of knee coverage at the primary contact surface, delivering additional cushioning and impact distribution at the knee that developing intermediate catchers need through extended seasons of crouching, blocking, and hard contact at increasing competitive velocities. Single knee designs offer a lighter, more streamlined profile while double knee designs prioritize maximum knee protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eHow does the CG104 Intermediate differ from the CG100 Adult and CG106 Youth? All three share the same high-performance PE shin plate, cantilever lining system, vent holes, and double knee cap design. The CG104 is 14.5 inches for intermediate catchers ages 12 to 15, the CG100 is 16.5 inches for adult catchers, and the CG106 is 13.5 inches for youth catchers. Always size based on the individual player's shin length rather than age alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eWhat is the cantilever lining system? The cantilever lining system suspends the hard PE shin plate slightly away from the leg on the impact side, creating a buffer layer that absorbs and disperses ball contact forces before they reach the shin -- reducing the sting and bruising that catchers experience when taking direct foul tips and blocked balls on the lower leg.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Champro","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":44405613592618,"sku":"CG104B","price":96.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Navy","offer_id":44405613625386,"sku":"CG104NY","price":96.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Royal","offer_id":44405613658154,"sku":"CG104RY","price":96.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Red","offer_id":44405613690922,"sku":"CG104SC","price":96.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0590\/4000\/6186\/files\/CG100_1_navy_4a0efa79-2e18-478d-ae1e-0622ef167d87.jpg?v=1779996920","url":"https:\/\/spcsports.com\/products\/champro-optimus-mvp-double-knee-leg-guard-cg104","provider":"SPC Sports","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
