Abstract
A protective device for the throwing hand of a baseball catcher. The device is used with a catcher's leg protector that is mounted on the catcher's leg that corresponds to his throwing hand. The device comprises at least one substantially rigid member that is supported on the leg protector and has as least one portion that extends away from the leg of the catcher to permit placement of at least part of the throwing hand of the catcher between the leg of the catcher and one portion of the device, so that such portion of the device is interposed between pitched balls and the throwing hand of the catcher.
