Can A Soft Ball Hit In The Chest Be Dangerous?

Hi! My boyfriend was playing on softball league tonight. He was catching a outfield ball and hit directly into the fence pole right in the middle of his chest. He has quite a large red mark on his sternum. Hurts when he breathes deep and he says it hurts and he has a VERY high pain tolerance. Should he go to e.r.?
