In horse riding (equestrianism), a sweat scraper is a flat metal tool with a short wooden handle used to scrape off sweat from a horse. Sweat scrapers are used to cool the horse down and prevent it from becoming overheated. They are also used to remove dirt and debris from the horse's coat.
Baseball
In baseball, a sweat scraper is a small, handheld device used to wipe sweat from a pitcher's forehead during a game. Sweat scrapers are typically made of plastic or metal and have a small, absorbent pad on one end. Pitchers use sweat scrapers to keep the sweat from dripping into their eyes or onto the ball, which could affect their performance.
