大聯盟正式核准新的護具，不過...

Brandon McCarthy told ESPN.com that even though he was seriously injured
when he was hit in the head by a line drive 16 months ago, he won't wear the
new gear himself.

McCarthy, who tested the protective cap while throwing off a mound, playing
catch and running, said Tuesday: "I won't wear it in its current form."

「雖然我16個月前被球打倒在地，我也不會戴這個護具。」發起人Brandon McCarthy
表示：「我不會使用目前的款式。」

McCarthy認為雖然目前有這方面的技術但是並非「major league-ready」產品；主要問題
有：

- Too Big (據IsoBlox的資料，前面加厚半吋、兩側大約太陽穴的位置加厚一吋)

  「投手會很在意這頂帽子。」


- Too Hot (多出七盎司；目前的帽子3~4盎司)

  「就算我在很涼快、很棒的環境下進行測試，頭還是會很癢。」

  「絕對沒辦法在聖路易或巴爾的摩的日場比賽中戴上一整天。」


- 不伏貼─「一動就會注意到。」

McCarthy表示這些問題不修正的話沒有人會戴，不過他同時表示他感謝投入心力的研究者
並稱這個帽子是往正確方向邁進的一步。

「希望幾年內會有戴起來沒有感覺的帽子。」

: Brandon McCarthy: MLB pitchers could wear protective headgear as early as
: next season
: http://t.co/VuV0HINbJU
: Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Brandon McCarthy joined "The Buzz" podcast
: Wednesday and said there's a chance that MLB pitchers could have the option
: of wearing special protective headgear as early as the 2014 season.
: He said the headgear would look like a hat but would be able to protect a
: pitcher from serious injury.
: "They're coming," McCarthy said of the headgear. "From everything I know
: they'll be available this year. I don't believe they're going to be
: mandatory. Actually, I'm almost certain they won't be mandatory.
: "I did get a chance to sit down with the head MLB doctor last year during
: spring training, who's overseeing the whole thing, and it has been a high
: priority for them. It's just that there has been very few answers. We both
: agreed on it not being mandatory at the time, there's just no need to do
: that. But whatever gets proposed has to be correct or we're not really doing
: too much."
: When reached for comment on this possibility, an MLB spokesperson said, "One
: product that has passed the testing standards should be available to players
: for next season.  We are still evaluating a number of other potential
: products.  Our conversations with the MLBPA are ongoing.  We expect this
: issue to continue to evolve, but we believe this is an important first step."
: McCarthy, as you might remember, suffered a serious injury when took a line
: drive off the side of his head during a game in 2012 when he was with the
: A's. He said the new headgear that he's working on with a company would have
: prevented that injury.
: "It should be strong enough and capable enough that literally if I got hit by
: the same exact ball, I would have been able to keep pitching in that game,"
: McCarthy said.
: The only problem with the headgear? How it looks.
: "It looks ridiculous and we get so used to the way things look," said
: McCarthy, who recently took a picture of himself with the headgear on and
: sent it to other pitchers in the league. "You mentioned the new football
: helmets and batting helmets, everything looks silly until it doesn't look
: silly anymore.
