I would think is going in the direction because so many of the 'small ball' players have grown up wearing helmets.

I know all of our local leagues (my son is playing in least) requires all batters to wear a helmet with facemask, I would guess FED is going that way since many of the kids have grown up wearing them?

But it does seem kind of strange since we played in a tourney that did not require facemasks and the first thing some of the kids did was take their face mask off (g)

But for the defense to wear a helmet, that's going to be strange ...
