Young Baseball Batter in Helmet Ready to Swing

A young baseball player stands in a batting stance with a helmet on, holding a bat up behind one shoulder. The helmet has an ear flap and a chin strap, and the player looks off to the side with a focused expression. Both hands grip the bat, with one fist near the shoulder and the other at the bottom of the handle. The player wears a short-sleeved jersey with a large solid black shadow shape across the middle, plus a belt and pants at the bottom edge. The outlines are bold and the shapes are big, so it works well for kids who are still building crayon control. Try coloring the helmet and jersey in a favorite team's colors, then talk about how batters protect their heads. This free printable also suits a sports unit or a Little League party table.
