During our 2nd scrimmage I broke my finger going into second and the ER doc said im out for 4 weeks and then some PT.

I am totally distraught because I STUMBLED running the bases and it's my fault this happened. I wasn't upset because of the pain on the drive to the hospital.....it was me knowing that I was the one who caused this and I was an idio. It's my junior year and my most important year. It was such a good hit (line drive over right feilder) I was finally showing the coach what I could do. I could have been a big impact on this team and now its over for a while. Has anyone had any experienc with this?


3/20- Just met with the orthopedic and he said 6 weeks in his opinion until I can swing a bat hard and thats pushign it because if i catch a fast ball wrong or get jammed im done again. By the way im a Right Handed OF.

Should I e-mail the coach of school im intrested in?

Thanks

What finger?
Catching hand, Throwing hand?
There's not much you can do with a broken finger as far as Hurrying the healing process.
If its broke thats better than a jam!
it will heal faster.

I would not worry to much about your recruiting process.
Get out there this late spring early summer and go to the College camps of your choice. and everything will work out fine.
Your legs aren't broke.
Work on your 60 time, get it down as far as possible.
that will help as much as your HS season.
Good Luck. the EH

plp556, Sorry to hear about your injury. My son had 2 fractures (hand, finger) several weeks apart during his high school season 2 years ago. Since they weren't complicated (one did involve removing a fingernail), he only missed a total of 3.5 weeks. One thing I would stress to any family of an athlete suffering an injury is to be seen by an orthopedic dr specializing in sports medicine. Both with my kids and a friend's son who suffered very serious fractures, we found the approach taken by the university sports medicine practice to be more optimistic about the player's returning to action sooner. My son was never rushed back. However, I do think both he and his friend might have been away from their games longer had they not been seen by an orthopedic practice specializing in sports medicine. Wishing you a quick recovery plp556!

Plp556....sorry....know how disappointed you must be...but it can't be undone....so some how you are going to have to find a way to make the most of it....and I think EH offers some good info....if you have not read the recruiting articles on this site....you might want to do that too.....just spend the down time as productively as you can....you'll be back at it before long....be ready, and good luck.
