ThumbPRO® Baseball Helps Players Maximize Performance While Helping to Prevent Game-Stopping Injuries

Globe and Mail08-04-2025

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.'
Why Players Trust ThumbPRO®
Ergonomic, Anatomical Fit – Designed to conform to the hand for a natural, comfortable feel.
Improved Grip Strength – Reduces bat sting and pressure on the thumb joint.
Lightweight & Breathable – Keeps players comfortable through every at-bat.
Used by Pros & Youth Players – Trusted across all levels of play, from youth to the Majors.
Make Thumb Protection a Priority This Season
A simple injury can take a player out of the game for weeks or months. That's why pro players, coaches, and parents are prioritizing thumb protection now more than ever.

Raccoon forces closure of a section of the Ottawa Baseball Stadium

The City of Ottawa is keeping an eye on an unwelcome fan in the stands at the Ottawa Baseball Stadium, as a raccoon lives in the upper deck of the stadium in the city's east end. Fans noticed a section of the right field stands were cordoned off last weekend during the Ottawa Titans series against the Sussex County Miners. Tickets are currently not listed as available for the section. Recreation, Cultural and Facility Services general manager Dan Chenier says a pair of raccoons settled into a portion of the stands. 'For everyone's safety, staff temporarily cordoned off a section of the stands and we worked with a specialized wildlife contractor to install humane traps,' Chenier said in an email to CTV News Ottawa. 'One raccoon has been safely removed and relocated to its natural habitat, and one trap remains in place to determine if the other has left the area or can be safely captured. We are working closely with our partners, the Ottawa Titans, and the section of the stadium will remain closed until it's safe to reopen.'

Kirk and Clase lead Blue Jays past Cardinals 5-4 in 10 innings

Toronto Blue Jays' Alejandro Kirk hits an RBI double during the 10th inning of a baseball game against the St. Louis Cardinals, Monday, June 9, 2025, in St. Louis. (AP Photo/Scott Kane) ST. LOUIS (AP) — Alejandro Kirk homered and had four hits, including a go-ahead double in the 10th inning as the Toronto Blue Jays rallied last in a 5-4 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Monday night. Kirk opened the 10th with a double off Phil Maton (0-2) to score automatic runner Addison Barger from second base. Jeff Hoffman then pitched a 1-2-3 inning for his 16th save in 19 opportunities, helping the Blue Jays (36-30) win for the 10th time in 12 games. After blowing a three-run lead in the eighth, Toronto tied it at 4 in the ninth when No. 9 batter Jonatan Clase hit his first home run this year and the second of his career — a one-out shot off Cardinals closer Ryan Helsley. Kirk launched his fourth home run, a solo shot, on a full-count pitch from reliever Riley O'Brien for a 3-0 lead in the eighth. But in the bottom half, Willson Contreras singled home the first St. Louis run and Iván Herrera hit a three-run homer off Yariel Rodríguez (1-0) to give the Cardinals a 4-3 lead. Rodríguez, who entered with two on and two outs in a 3-0 game, had allowed just one of 13 inherited runners to score this season. Blue Jays starter José Berríos allowed two hits in 6 2/3 shutout innings. Toronto used George Springer's run-scoring double in the first and Bo Bichette's RBI single in the second to grab a 2-0 lead against starter Andres Pallente, who permitted seven hits in six innings. Key moment Berríos' exit in the seventh energized the Cardinals before Clase and Kirk came through late for the Blue Jays. Key stat The Blue Jays lead the all-time series 15-14. They won all three games against the Cardinals last season in Toronto. Up next Toronto RHP Chris Bassitt (6-3, 3.56 ERA) starts Tuesday against Cardinals RHP Miles Mikolas (4-2, 3.96). ___ This story has been corrected to show that Contreras hit a single in the eighth inning, not a double. ___ AP MLB: The Associated Press
