Have a tourney coming up that I will work while still in the cast. I am thinking about protection going forward once the cast comes off. I know there are probably some stances that will protect me better but that is not the answer as I will continue to use my stance I've used for years.
Sorry, you are hurt, Duke.
Isn't there an arm guard similar to the single shin guard pros wear for foul balls. Else, maybe ask a catcher. There was a sleeve Bryce Harper wore after his arm injury, but I don't know if it was protective.
