The last thing anyone wants when they step up to the plate is to get smacked with a bad pitch, and the last thing you need is to get knocked in the head with an eighty mile an hour ball. Batting helmets may be nothing new, but they are essential for any player, amateur or otherwise, to have ready for game day.
For the youngest players who are just getting the hang of the game, a great option is the Rawlings T-Ball molded helmet - ideal for kiddos and very affordable at under $20.
For the same great value on larger heads, check out Rawlings' series of adult batting helmets, our favorite of which is this one that comes equipped with predrilled holes for fastening face guards.
Easton, another big name in sporting equipment, offers up a phenomenal option in the Z5 helmet with its comfortable fit and included jaw guard.
