Abstract
A protective flap for a batting helmet. The protective flap attaches to a batting helmet or is fabricated with the helmet, and extends alongside the cheek and jaw of the batter. The protective flap can attach to the ear cover of the batting helmet, and extends forwardly to an outer end approximately aligned with the front of the batter's chin or nose. The upper edge of the protective flap is spaced below the visor of the helmet to allow substantially unobstructed vision but this spacing is less than the diameter of the ball in play, to prevent the ball from striking the batter's cheek or eye.
