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.

Rule 1.11 does not currently prohibit the use of a helmet. It only says that "Uniforms" are identical in Color, Style, & Trim. Rule 1.16 does not say a pitcher or fielder should or should not, only certain players: catchers, batters, runners, and base coaches are required.
