Can't hardly blame AJ if it offers more protection for as often as people seem to throw at his ass. I wouldn't blame him if he went up there with one of these...

 

Isn't it great when this is the only thing we have to complain about?

it might only be AJ considering he's the guy that has too have a helmet on for longer than everyone else

I never really had a problem with batting helmets being too warm, considering you don't really wear them that long. Now a dark colored wool cap, in the outfield, on a sunny 90 degree day, when your pitchers are getting killed can be brutal.

Actually, I believe they offer equal protection but much better ventilation.

 

Freddy, you need one of these on the mound.

I don't think it's the same style he wears behind the plate. It is better than the one he wore in SF

 

It is probably some sort of sponsorship thing and teams can phase them overtime.
