catcher's mask
Plate protector gear
A catcher's mask is the protective face guard worn by a baseball catcher, featuring a metal cage over padding that shields against foul tips and collisions at home plate.
The distinctive barred design has become iconic in baseball imagery: He pulled off his catcher's mask to argue the call.
