All players wear these while at bat and on the bases to protect their heads. Batting helmets are hard and plastic on the outside and padded on the inside. Players usually don't have to purchase their own helmet. However, taking care of the team helmets should be a priority for everyone, so always use your head when it comes to helmet care. (necessary)
What to Look For:
Make sure your helmet has earflaps on both sides to ensure maximum protection.
Your head should fit comfortably, yet securely inside of the helmet, so make sure it is padded on the inside and sized properly for your noggin.
The helmet must be made of hard plastic on the outside; light plastic helmets that you can purchase at baseball games or baseball memorabilia stores are not acceptable helmets for game use.
