As for your question, I honestly don't think any nationally-sanctioned organization would consider using a batter's helmet to warm up the pitcher. The NOCSAE certification standard for batting helmets is much different than the standard for catcher's helmets. And even if you attached a dangler to the bottom bar of the mask on a batter's helmet, it wouldn't provide the right protection.
