When it comes to being hit by pitches, some concerned fans would prefer France adopting Patches O'Houlihan’s “dodge, duck, dip, dive and dodge" strategy from Dodgeball: An Underdog Story.
France is a beast. I coached him from 8 to 18. Playing tough guy baseball has never stopped him from being his best. Since 8 after taking a bat to the face and 8 stitches to his lip, then playing in a World Series game he was offensive player of the tournament and his team lost. To college with a slap tear and finishing the season being named conference MVP.
He does it all for the team (wears the gear) to protect himself. Will drop down a bunt when the time is right to help the team in any way he can.
Don’t worry about Ty teams/fans should worry more about his desire to figure out ways to beat them

Cameron, thanks for your feedback! I’m a big Ty France fan and expect him to be great in 2023 and beyond.
