If the pitch speed in your league tops out at 70 MPH, Rawlings Gear
recommends a helmet with an S70™ Performance Rating™.
Try Rawlings' 70 MPH batting helmet (model number S70X1S), which features the exclusive COOLFLO® XVI™ helmet design, Heat
Exchange™ technology and a rubberized matte paint finish.
This helmet meets or exceeds the NOCSAE® standard up to a pitch speed
of 70 MPH. The current NOCSAE® standard equates to a 68 MPH baseball pitch speed.
Made for youth players who generally face pitch speeds at or below 70 MPH, the
S70™ provides additional protection and performance for young players launching
their careers.
Rawlings’ exclusive COOLFLO XV1™ front vents allow for 30 percent more
cool air ventilation.
Heat Exchange™ vents rapidly circulate cooler ambient air. Top vents
quickly move heated air from player’s head, allowing 70 percent more heat to
escape.
The enhanced ABS plastic shell with rubberized matte finish has dual
ear flaps and is available in black, cardinal, dark green, graphite, maroon,
navy, purple, royal, scarlet and Texas orange.
One size fits 7-1/4 to 7-3/4. Find the junior batting helmet under
model number S70X1J at Rawlings Gear, which fits sizes 6-1/2 to 7-1/8.
Know your helmet, and look for the Rawlings seal before you step to
the plate. Rawlings' Performance Rating™ can be found on the rear of the
helmet, as well as the interior crown padding.

• NOCSAE® baseball batting helmet standards
involve tests of baseballs fired from a cannon at 60 mph at a distance of 2 ft,
which is roughly equivalent to an impact resulting from a pitch speed of 68 mph
at a distance of 60 ft.
• The Rawlings Performance Rating™ System is
based on pitch speeds at a distance of 60 ft.
• NOCSAE® standards require that a batting helmet
withstand all test impacts at an established peak severity index (SI). Helmets
also must survive all test protocols substantially intact and ready for use.
• The NOCSAE® standard is aimed at reducing the
risk of skull fractures. The standard has not been correlated with reducing the
risk of concussions from such impacts.
WARNING: Severe head or neck injury, including
paralysis or death may occur to you despite using this helmet. No helmet can
prevent all head injuries or any neck injuries a player might receive while
participating in baseball or softball.

Each one has its own unique feel, as it comes into play against the pitch. The overhand kind of bat grips the dirt and allows you to make plenty of contact with the ball. The underhand kind of bat grips the ball and allows you more room to make a clean throw. For more information on softball game, visit this site right here.
