California was working on putting a moratorium on metal and composite bats. Instead they agreed to move up standards on metal bats to this year and begin the process of requiring protective head gear. They are working on developing standards for protective headgear for pitchers, infielders, and base coaches in both baseball and softball. They are encouraging schools to require protective head gear this season and will consider making it mandatory next year.
For the full story.
California is usually first when it comes to safety requirements. This could easily spread across the country in a few years. California Assemblyman Jared Huffman says "A few years from now, baseball and softball pitchers at all levels, and in all states, will take for granted the protective head gear they wear. "
