Sorry to post this in the general forum instead of pitching but I needed it to be seen quickly lol. Any way my son is pitching in the WWBA 16U and got a blister on his middle finger in the first inning of his game. Our team is short on pitching and they really need him to pitch this week. They were already planning on pitching him today and again Wednesday.

So I've used tough skin on softball pitchers before but hear it doesn't last long on a baseball pitcher. So which is better tough skin or superglue. If anyone has experience with this please respond or any other treatments that work and get a kid back on the mound in just a few days.

Soak in pickle juice. You really are not supposed to have any substance on at all. It's not your sons fault the team doesn't have enough pitching.

Does the pickle juice really work? I've heard it's just a wives tale.

Yeah it's no ones fault on the pitching. Just some bad situations with a family emergency, sickness, and injuries. It just is what it is.

Thank you.

Just had a parent from the other team recommend nu skin as well. They said their closer was using it from a blister he got yesterday.

Pine tar, j/k... son has used nu skin and gorilla glue in the past. Both worked fine
