Most baseball leagues, including college baseball and the major leagues, require players to wear helmets while batting and running bases. A helmet protects the player from balls that may be flying 100 mph toward him. It is important to get a helmet that is comfortable and fits properly. If you know your hat size, you can use that as a starting point to determine your helmet size. If not, you will need to measure the size of your head.
Step 1
Wrap a measuring tape around the thickest part of your head, just above your eyebrows. You can also wrap a string around your head then measure the string.
Step 2
Record the measurement to the closest 1/4 inch.
Step 3
Use a helmet size chart to convert your head measurement into a helmet size.
