What's the need? If it's safety, then why not address the pitcher's safety? I've seen many pitchers get hit, and some seriously injured with batted balls.

It's entirely legal under FED rules for a pitcher (or other infielder) to wear protective head gear. If you want it, you can wear it.

And what is preventing a base coach from wearing a helmet?

The injury that caused the helmets to become a rule was a neck injury.

Although there was a proposal before the rules committee to require helmets for adult base coaches, it didn't pass.

I can't imagine why.

Exactly. The helmet would have accomplished nothing, but it appeases those that say something needs to be done.

News accounts from the time indicate that Coolbaugh was hit in the neck, not the head.

So would Mike say yes or no to wearing a helmet while coaching first base?

Ask Mike Coolbaugh what the need is.

He was hit in the side of the neck, and ruptured an artery was it not.
