The protective device comprises a padded catching panel and flexible back panel which are connected along their margins to form a glove-like arrangement. The index finger, thumb, and palm of the athlete's hand are protected by the catching panel to minimize pain from impact of a baseball, to reduce instances of injuries, and to distribute the impact forces among a greater surface area caused by a ball caught at great velocity. | |
