MLB batting hemets

Many MLB batters helmets appear melted on top. What's up with that?

You mean the pine tar that some of them display as a proud badge of griminess?

Just the new CoolFlo helmet by Rawlings.

it could be pine tar as it usually looks brown. It has a bubbled look usually just above the logos and not on every player's helmet.

so it's probably a combo of texture of the plastic plus the tar that gives it the melted/bubbled/burned look. Thanks fellas
