Description
Overview
The Diamond Edge mask in junior size puts a young catcher in a hockey-style mask rather than a separate helmet and cage. The shell is lightweight and high-impact resistant with Diamond's ventilation pattern, and the wire frame is built for visibility so the catcher can track the ball out of the pitcher's hand.
Fit is where this mask earns its place in a school or club bag. Three adjustable straps and a low-profile adjustable chin pad mean one mask can be reset between catchers of different head shapes, while multi-layered foam padding under a mesh cover sits against the face. It is the junior entry in the Diamond range of masks.
Key benefits
- Lighter on a young catcher thanks to the lightweight high-impact resistant shell.
- Stays cooler behind the plate with Diamond ventilation through the shell.
- Clear view of the pitch from the durable wire frame design.
- Adjusts between players using three straps and a low-profile chin pad.
- Padded comfort from multi-layered, mesh-covered foam.
- Throat covered from day one with the included FM-TG 4 throat guard.
Who it's for
This is the mask for junior catchers in school softball, club baseball and development squads, where the same gear is often shared across a season. The adjustable straps and chin pad make sharing workable. Larger or older catchers should look at the other sizes in the Diamond range rather than forcing a small shell to fit.
Sizing guide
Diamond lists this mask as junior, recorded as small. The record does not give a head-circumference range, so if you are unsure between sizes, contact our team with the player's age and measurements before ordering.
Care, safety and set-up
Reset the three straps and the chin pad each time the mask changes hands so the shell sits square and the wire frame lines up with the eyes. Fit the throat guard before the first game. Let padding air out after use and store the mask where the wire frame will not be crushed under heavier gear.
Frequently asked questions
Is the throat guard included or sold separately?
It is included. Every Diamond Edge junior mask ships with an FM-TG 4 throat guard.
Can more than one catcher use the same mask?
Yes. The three adjustable straps and adjustable chin pad are designed to be reset between players, which suits shared school and club kits.
Is this a helmet and cage or a one-piece mask?
It is a hockey-style mask: a shell with an integrated wire frame, rather than a separate skull cap and face cage.
Can a school buy several at once?
Yes. Add the mask to a quote alongside other softball protective gear and request a quote for the full fit-out.
