Rawlings is about to introduce its newest batting helmet, the S100, a bulkier but far more protective helmet that can withstand the impact of a 100 m. p. h. fastball, according to Rawlings and an independent testing organization. Most other models, when hit flush by a ball, are compromised at speeds in excess of 70 m. p. h. The S100—so named because it can withstand the impact of a ball fired at 100 m. p. h. from 24 inches away — has a layer of expanded polypropylene, the hard, foamlike material used in bicycle helmets. The helmet also has a composite insert strip built into the frame that helps the helmet retain its protective oval shape upon impact.
