I just thought I would bring this link over here. It was posted on another site and I had never seen it before. Could be useful to someone.

I don't know anything about it or if it would work for a catcher or not. I've heard folks talk about thumb injuries on here occasionally and thought if it helps anyone it was worth looking into.

I personally don't use anything but I'm thinking of getting a Hard Thumb. Does anyone know where to get and have any pictures of it? thanks

Catch, I don't have any pictures, but I know we had a catcher this year sprain his thumb. Our ATC made him a hard splint. It slid onto the thumb supporting the side of it, but not really like the tip of the thumb too much. This was something he made using like a conformable plastic. Your best bet may be to talk to an athletic trainer or maybe stop by a local Sports Medicine clinic.

Crazy, the picture showed it on the guys right hand, there are virtually no lefty catchers.
