Obviously, they wear helmets to protect their heads from injury. Batting helmets are used to protect the batter from being injured by a pitched ball and although its rather rare from a foul ball off his own bat. Batting helmets are required in most leagues
While playing in the field or running bases, some players wear helmets or inserts in their caps, to protect their heads from injury.

Why do baseball players put pine tar on their helmets?
Its not that they put pine tar on their helmets on purpose. Its from handling the bat with their gloves, then both adjusting/taking off their helmet. So it just transfers from bat to helmet via the glove. Sure they could clean their helmets after a game, but I'm sure its a superstitious thing with many baseball players to not clean the helmet. I'm sure you've seen tons of ball players with extremely dirty helmets... Also... ball players ''adjust'' the amount of pine tar on their gloves for preference by touching their helmet to take some of it off.
