NHL went through this a couple of times, first requiring helments for all players, then several years later adding required facemasks.
Once a change is made requiring a head protector of some sort for the pitcher, within a year or two fans/players will be saying "what was the big deal".
A protective headgear for pitchers at all levels will not significantly change the game, but will save a few young men a year (including NFHS/NCAA/Pro) from a life altering injury.
I see no reason to object to protective headgear for pitchers.
