I found this practice helmet in our shed today and it has a blinder on it. I have never seen anything like it! The face is completely covered except a small slit for your eyes. I tried it on, and you can't see much, and you must really have to focus to track a pitch. It probably works as a training aid but I really hope my team doesn't need to use something this extreme to see the ball. Crazy stuff.
Someone who throws their head to watch the hit might benefit. They couldn't see much and it would emphasize the act of moving your head. They'd also begin to know you as the terrifying Cyclops.
