Pitcher Warming - HS Varsity Fed Rules
Probably elementary but when the bullpen is in dead ball territory, pitcher is warming up, the protector (player standing behind pitcher or catcher as their back is to playing field) must wear a helmet correct??

Depends. Is the dead ball territory outside the fences? If so no protector needed. If inside but in a dead ball territory then I think a protector is needed. He need not wear a helmet.

NFHS Rules: Non-adult (if the player is 18, he is still going to wear a batting helmet) in your situation MUST wear a batting helmet no matter what level.

So we get dumped on to do what should be an obvious coaching responsibility. Which moves a chunk of the liability for any mishap to the shoulders of the umpires officiating the game. Fair enough since our huge bump in pay meets the risk-reward test. ![]() |

Some states (here, for example) also require a helmet.

Hmm,
All I can tell ya is that the FED rules committee discussed having 'protectors' wear helmets and selected to NOT include them in the rule (remember, while the committee permanent chair is an umpire there are only coaches on the rules committee).
Oregon (by OSAA command) HAS INCLUDED the protectors in the helmet portion of the rule. While not arguing whether a 'protector' should or should not be required to wear a protective helmet it appears on the surface that more-and-more states are moving towards state decreed protective helmet use.
