For all of you sports addicted mechanical engineers, they are tying to create a new type of catchers mitt.
From Eurekalert.org
"Catchers may receive 150 pitches per game at speeds, many at speeds over 90 m.p.h. The repetitive impact of the ball hitting the gloved hand has been shown to lead to damage to blood vessels. Over time, blood flow can be significantly reduced and nerves may be bruised, causing numbness and tingling, reduced sensitivity to cold and bluish-colored skin. "
I'm glad they're finally going to do something
