The Batter's Helmet is a cosmetic item for the Scout. It is a team-colored, fiberglass batting helmet with a single earflap, which fits over the Scout's regular hat.

This item has three styles, named "Hat and Headphones", "No Hat and No Headphones" and "No Hat". The "Hat and Headphones" style retains both the Scout's default headphones and hat, the "No Hat and No Headphones" style hides his default headphones and hat, while the "No Hat" style only hides his default hat.

The item's description was written by TheTwoTonHammer for the Hat Describing Contest.
