Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought Olerud needed special dispensation to wear his helmet. Without approval from the league, he would have been in violation of uniform rules and would have been told to don a cap.
So I don't think a pitcher can wear a protective helmet under OBR. I think a rule change would be needed.
