Built Different. By Design.

ENGINEERED FOR PERFORMANCE

ThumbPRO® is engineered around the biomechanics of the swing. Its patented contoured design wraps naturally around the thumb to help absorb shock from jammed hits and mishit balls, while staying secure through every swing.

The curved upper surface supports a comfortable top-hand position and helps players keep the bat in their fingers for better feel, grip control, and swing confidence.

Proper fit and placement matter. Learn how to wear a baseball thumb guard for the right fit, position and feel at the plate.

From youth baseball to the pro level, ThumbPRO® gives hitters the hand protection they need without sacrificing comfort or performance.

Lab Tested. Game Proven.

Protect your swing with ThumbPRO®. Proven on the field and in the lab.

Independent laboratory testing showed the ThumbPRO® baseball thumb guard reduced transmitted force by almost two-thirds.

Transmitted force is what a hitter feels as bat sting, so a lower number means less sting on mishits.

BE READY FOR EVERY SWING

HITTERS CHOOSE THUMBPRO®

ThumbPRO® is the performance, patented thumb guard designed to help hitters prevent bat sting, protect the top hand, and feel more confident every time they swing.

Made in the USA from premium medical-grade silicone, ThumbPRO® stays comfortable, flexible, and consistent in real game conditions. Unlike many TPE thumb guards that can stiffen in cold weather or soften in heat, ThumbPRO® is built to maintain its shape, fit, and feel through practices, games, and long seasons.

Its patented contoured, saddle shape design helps keep the guard comfortably locked in place, giving hitters reliable protection without getting in the way of their swing.

Premium Silicone

ThumbPRO® is made from premium medical-grade silicone that maintains its flexibility across changing temperatures and playing conditions. Durable and built to last, ThumbPRO® is designed to hold up through repeated practices and games. Many other thumb guards are made from TPE, a material that can stiffen in the cold and soften in the heat.

Patented Design That Stays Put

Other guards rotate during your swing — moving protection away from where you need it. ThumbPRO's patented, contoured saddle design locks in place every swing. No shifting. No fidgeting. Pure comfort.

From Little League to MLB

Youth and Little League, travel ball, high school, college, softball, MLB — ThumbPRO® protects every hitter's top hand at every level of the game.

Baseball Thumb Guard FAQ

A baseball thumb guard protects the hitter's top hand by preventing bat sting and vibration from mishits and jammed contact. ThumbPRO® is the only patented, saddle-shaped baseball thumb guard that fits the hand and stays in place, stabilizing the grip and keeping a natural feel on the bat. It can be worn over a batting glove or directly on the bare hand, for both baseball and softball hitters.

ThumbPRO® is designed for hitters from youth through the highest levels of baseball and softball. It is used by Little League, travel ball, high school, college, MiLB, MLB, and professional softball players to protect the top hand and prevent bat sting. ThumbPRO® is available in sizes Small, Medium, and Large for a more precise fit.

ThumbPRO® is made in the USA from premium silicone, chosen for its flexibility, durability, comfort, and consistency across playing conditions. Many other thumb guards use TPE materials, which can become stiffer or softer as temperatures change. Silicone maintains more consistent flexibility across a wide range of temperatures, helping ThumbPRO® deliver a more consistent fit and feel from hot summer games to cold-weather play.

ThumbPRO® can be worn over a batting glove or directly on the hand. Simply slide it onto the thumb of your top hand and position it comfortably before stepping into the box.

ThumbPRO® is designed for both baseball and softball hitters. Worn on the top hand, it prevents bat sting and vibration from mishits and jammed contact. ThumbPRO® is trusted by softball players from youth through the professional level.

ThumbPRO® is worn on the top hand of the bat. For a right-handed hitter, that is the right hand; for a left-handed hitter, it is the left hand. ThumbPRO® is ambidextrous, so the same design can be worn on either hand and works perfectly as well for switch hitters.
