Don't know how many folks noticed this yet, but Major League Baseball has approved pitchers wearing a fielding helmet for safety this year:

When pro baseball players star wearing these, will college coaches still look down on teenage girls that do the same? Why doesn't the baseball version have a face mask?
Not surprisingly, initial feedback from some MLB pitchers was that the helmet feels great and they know it will protect them, but it looks silly so they are not going to wear it.
