What kind of helmet is she wearing?

If I had to guess, it's a batting helmet with the visor cut off.

And an umpires mask for the face.

Adidas I think. I'll double check. She really does not like the hockey-style masks.

Because I'm an idiot?

No, because that's what it looks like.

when I first started catching at 7 or 8 years old, I wore a batting helmet backwards (and tilted slightly so I could see) and a mask whose straps stretched across the helmet. I wore that for the entire season.

Many MLB catchers still wear backwards batting helmets (with no ear covers) with seperate masks.

No, they don't. They wear special-made catcher's helmets with separate masks. They are not batting helmets, even though they look like one.

uh.....I wore one as a teenage catcher. They call it a skull cap but it is made exactly like a batting helmet without ear flaps. There is nothing special-made about it. The shell and the padding are the same. A true skull cap does not have a brim. Now some base coaches wear these "skull caps". Some catchers wear these "skull caps" with the brim forward.
