batting helmet
Plate protective gear
A batting helmet is protective headgear worn by baseball and softball batters to guard against pitches that strike the head.
Most cover at least one ear—the side facing the pitcher.
Helmets are mandatory in organized play at all levels.
Base runners typically keep them on while on the bases.
