I haven’t played baseball since JUCO and I don’t have any kids, but I’ll stick by my original statement don’t block the plate and you won’t get trucked and as a former catcher the correct move is to make sure you secure the ball for the tag and hopefully deliver the trucking instead of being the truckee…if they changed the rule I’m unaware but it wouldn’t surprise me they started handing out participation trophies so I guess it’s ok that if little Johnny isn’t athletic enough to compete with his peers we can change the rules to level the playing field.

I got benched by my own legion coach for trucking a catcher, twice.

Rules governing Contact with the catcher started to change when Buster Posey got his knee destroyed in a bullshite, unnecessary collision.

You are trying way, way, way too hard.
You really don't have to tell us that you don't have any kids. We can all tell by your post.
We can also tell by your post:
1. You probably weren't that good of a catcher, if at all.
2. You haven't watched baseball very much in the past 15 years.
3. You haven't been to a little league, 10U - 14U, game in forever.
The game has changed. I'm glad it has. My son, 12U player, is getting much better coaching both offensively and defensively than I ever imagined. I am thankful for that, because he's only 90 pounds. He is a catcher and he routinely plays against kids over 5'9" and 160 pounds. That is not a collision he wins, ever. And yes, he has been trucked several times, all intentional, and all resulted in the runner being out.

Dont be dense...they are kids. Its just simple safety. You may not have gotten hurt but kids don't need to be getting concussions from plays that can be avoided
