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.

As Blue Jays continue to surge, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hasn't kept pace

The good times keep rolling for the Blue Jays, a team many felt would be rolled over when its offence was rendered completely inept. Article content As they enjoy an off day before a three-game series in Philadelphia awaits — beginning with Friday night's 6:45 p.m. first pitch — it's worth noting how this run of edge-of-your-seats entertainment started on May 28 in Arlington, Tex. Article content Article content Article content The evening began with Bo Bichette out of the starting lineup because of back tightness. Article content It would end with Bichette used as a pinch-hitter with one out in the ninth inning in a 0-0 game. Article content He went deep for a two-run blast to give the Jays a 2-0 win on a night when five pitchers combined on a one-hitter. Article content Article content That moment would help catapult the Jays to their four-game sweep of the Athletics, help ignite a 2-1 series win over the Phillies and serve as the impetus for the team's current 5-1 trip. Article content Since that night in Texas, the Jays have gone 11-2. Article content The team's pitching has held up, despite Bowden Francis' struggles, closer Jeff Hoffman being so prone to serving up longballs and the absence of a bonafide starter outside of the Big 3 of Jose Berrios, Chris Bassitt and Kevin Gausman. Article content Alejandro Kirk suddenly has emerged as the team MVP. Addison Barger has the earmarks of a major-league thumper and George Springer's renaissance seems real. Article content The list goes on, which includes Ernie Clement and the remaining unheralded cast that has taken turns in stepping up in big moments. Article content Article content But still, no one is quite sure if this streak is sustainable. Article content 'Every time we get punched in the mouth, we punch right back,'' Clement told reporters following Wednesday's win in St. Louis. 'That's just so exciting when (opponents) score a run and you score two. It's the most fun we've had as a group this year and in past years.' Article content While no one can argue with anything Clement had to say, there nonetheless are some matters that have to be corrected. Article content Pitching is right at the top because no team can sustain what is, in effect, a three-man starting staff. Article content When Francis is scheduled to make the start Saturday, it will loom as his biggest during his brief big-league career. The Jays have survived, in fact they've thrived, on bullpen days, but no one believes this can be a long-term solution.

Article content Selected third overall in the 2021 amateur draft, Jobe was the Tigers' third-ranked prospect in 2024, according to Article content The right-hander made two relief appearances for Detroit late last season, then two more in the American League playoffs.
