Fig. 25 Recommended baseball protectors. The left two protectors conform to NOCSAE Doc. 024–98m02 performance specification for a baseball/softball catcher's helmet with faceguard. The third protector from left has a faceshield that conforms to ASTM F910 for baseball batters and baseruners attached to a helmet that conforms to NOCSAE Doc. 022–98m02 performance specification for baseball/softball batter's helmet. Note the recommended chin strap. This protector would also give excellent protection for fielders. The protector on the far right passes the standards for a batter/baserunner-helmet/faceguard combination, yet is inappropriately too large for a six-year-old child and thus is not recommended for this player. |
