Rawlings Batting Helmet

Baseball season is just around the corner. Does your slugger have the equipment they need to play their best and be protected? With the sudden increase in player safety (concerning concussions and other head related injuries) at the professional level it’s important your little slugger is protected. Of course you can’t have them play in a suit of armor. How could they move or even see? Consider low profile baseball helmets to help them stay protected and play their best.

When it comes to safety in any sport your head is the most important part of your body to protect. Baseball can be extremely dangerous in the event of a wild pitch because the batter has almost no time to react. Wearing a helmet is very important, but it can also be uncomfortable and difficult to perform athletically. Low profile baseball helmets alleviate that problem and help you stay protected. Here are some particular low profile helmets to consider:

• Rawlings Coolflo Matte batting helmet
• Rawlings Coolflo Cfex batting helmet
• Rawlings Pro Style Coolflo batting helmet
• Rawlings Coolflo batting helmet with mask

For younger ages I recommend having a mask or cage attached to the helmet for added protection. A friend of mine once fouled a ball off their baseball bat and into their eye. It was a scary situation, but luckily he was able to play several months later.

While on the baseball field the most important position to wear a significant amount of protection is at the catcher position. This is especially important for younger players. The best youth catchers gear is the one that properly fits and comfortably protects the vital areas. A catcher need to protect their head/face, chest, groin, and from the knee down. Here is some gear to consider when looking for the best youth catchers equipment:

• Louisville Slugger TPX catchers gear set
• Wilson little league catchers protective gear
• Black Magic catchers gear set
