MLB pitcher's helmet cap does not look good

How stupid does that look? I mean damn, I'm all for protecting nikkas heads (pause) and all but didn't the makers look at this and say "we gotta fix this man"? I mean, seriously, wth?

nikkas would rather get beaned by a pitch than put that hideous hat on their heads

I think it would look better if the hat was a regular size and they just put the padding on the outside of it.

What about his face?

Exactly what I was thinking. How many pitchers get hit in the forehead by pitches? Dude making an ass of himself for no reason.

We've seen a first baseman wear a batting helmet without ear protectors. Looks a bit goofy, but nothing super weird.
The new pitcher's padded cap looks like the team ran out of caps and handed you one made for someone with a gigantic forehead.

Is baseball serious with this?

I would like to get a close-up look at it though.
What are they using? High-density (HD) foams mixed with low-density (LD) foams or what.
I am guessing that they didn't want to weigh it down so they went with foams. That's how it is with hockey equipment. They've been replacing sections that used to be foam plus hard plastic outer shell, with just HD and LD foams to save weight. For real, I would design it with a carbon fiber/kevlar shell plus HD foams. I'd be like "It weighs a little more and is less protective that the other helmet. But, you don't look like you have a tumor on your forehead. "

Dead serious.
It's like, did anyone... even one person... say, "What the **** is up with the width of the visor?"
