Protection for fans and passers-by is the main purpose of a backstop. Baseball players bat with the backstop behind them, and the catcher also plays with their back to the backstop, but sometimes, they don't manage to hit or catch the ball. That's where a baseball backstop comes in. Pitchers are known for their strong throws: If the batter misses the pitch and the ball strays by the catcher, it could seriously harm a spectator watching from behind home plate. It's estimated that more than a thousand people are hit by stray baseballs every year. When a ball goes into the crowd, sometimes, it's a thrill for spectators ready to catch foul balls. But for people sitting behind home plate, they're in a dangerous position, potentially receiving balls directly from the pitcher. This SportsPlay baseball backstop will protect spectators from these balls and prevent injuries.
