I have recently run into some issues with my players getting stingers with the hands or fingers while batting. Whether it is a pitching machine pitching at a high rate of speed or girls facing good fast pitching. I have had several girls really hurt their hands or fingers.
I know this tends to happen when it is fairly cold out. Although it has also happened when we were inside. It also happens when we walk towards the pitching machine. I was pitching to the girls at about 45 mile an hour and they still were saying it hurt.
I have had them experiment with their grip. Loosening their index fingers and thumbs. That helps some what. Is this a hand path issue? I understand that this happens when they get jammed or they hit the ball on the end of the bat.
Has anyone else had this problem and can anyone help?
