Grip. Swing. Perform. Why thumb protection is a game-changer this season.
Concord, MA - April 8, 2025 - A strong, controlled swing can make all the difference at the plate—but without proper thumb protection, players risk painful injuries that can derail their season. That's why ThumbPRO® Baseball, the ergonomically designed, thumb guard made of skin safe silicon, is an essential piece of gear for baseball and softball players across all levels, from youth leagues to the pros.
More than just a protective accessory, ThumbPRO® enhances grip, reduces bat sting, and keeps players at their best—game after game.
The Key to a Stronger, More Confident Swing
In baseball, power and precision start with the hands. A secure grip translates to better bat control, increased swing speed, and improved performance at the plate. Thumb injuries, however, can not only weaken grip strength and impact a player's ability to execute their best swing, they can literally sideline a player for a game or, even a season.
With more than two million youth baseball players in the U.S. and globally, last year, the need for proper hand protection has never been greater. Research from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) shows that protective gear significantly reduces sports-related injuries — and for baseball players, that starts with safeguarding their most valuable tools: their hands.
'Players train tirelessly to improve their swing, but an unexpected thumb injury can throw everything off,' says Nina Nickles, CEO of ThumbPRO®. 'ThumbPRO® is designed to provide the protection they need — without compromising comfort or performance.'
