He's 2 years older than Hamlin so probably a sense of "if it can happen to him" for Mitchell.
Of course, Donovan doesn't play a full impact game & the doctors seem pretty convinced Hamlin's event was a highly unusual set of circumstances precipitated by a heavy blow to the chest.
I heard also, that youth pitchers often wear a thin, cushioned plate that protects the edges of the sternum. Apparently this cardiac arrest event has happened to kids. The guy talking about didn't mention if there were fatalities or whether they all survived.
