Yea, the title is kind of odd. Why would there be a guy asking how to catch a ball that says he is a catcher? haha. No, I can catch and have been doing so for quite a while, but recently I've been undergoing serious hand pain.
Lately after about 30 or 40 pitches I'm dying of pain, my hand seems to be on fire, particularly my thumb. I can barely move my catching hand after a day of practice. It only bothers me after I catch the big hurlers, anywhere from 80-85 bothers me a little. But after catching someone throwing it circa 92 for 15 minutes, there isnt enough advil available in Alabama to help me haha.
So yeah if anyone has any tips on how to recieve the ball in a less painful fashion, please fill me in. Thanks
