FORT MYERS, Fla. — Easton-Bell Sports sent out a press release today regarding a helmet designed to protect pitchers.
From the company:
It looks goofy and I suspect if I asked all the Red Sox pitchers in camp, none would admit to wanting to wear it.

But there was a time in baseball when catchers didn't wear a mask. And no hitter would think to go to the plate today without a helmet. Almost every park has a fence in front of the dugout to protect players, too.
It might take 10 years — or some awful injury — but the day is coming when a pitcher wears a helmet.
Let me ask you this, would you send your kid out to the mound without one?
Hell i pitch and i would never wear this pussy plastic hat. First of all it looks awful second of all the added weight to the brim must throw you off. And lastly how about not letting them hit the ball huh? aint that the best defense? Or how bout wood bats? Why try to band aide the problem instead of fixing it. Metal bats kill, while wood bats damage. When you play baseball you take in the risks and one risk is a line shot to your dome. I doubt the mlb will use these helmets but hey you never know.
