Your state's rules may vary. In my games if there wear a helmet, fine. If not, fine.

RichMSN:
NFHS R3-S3-A4 states: Whenever team members are loosening up in an area which is not protected by a fence or other structure,
another member with a glove must be positioned between them and the batter to protect them from a batted or thrown ball within the confines of the playing field. No one is to interfere with a live ball.
It seems to me that a person cannot shag balls without a glove, so if the protector must wear a glove, then it is a pretty good bet that he falls under the description of a ball shagger.
But your attitude begs the question, why are you so adamant that you would not require the protector to wear a batting helmet?
