Interesting Observation

[ArmWhip]

It seems to me that a lot of people misunderstood my OP or they just didn't read it. I'm not talking about index finger out of the glove like Baylee Klingler in this photo.

Lynch and Klingler bring new friendship to Montlake

Instead of a nameplate across the back of their practice uniforms, the Washington softball team chose to showcase their pride in their home state this year. Among the 20 girls

I'm talking about having the pinky and ring finger together in the pinky slot, this is certainly not common in MLB, at least not for infielders, I have seen it used by pitchers but that's about it.

I have recommended this finger alignment to players with new gloves for the extra leverage in gives when you close it, or to 1st basemen or catchers to help prevent palm bruising.

Who misunderstood? What you are describing is wearing it TIP..

Pretty sure most here got your point, and TIP is extremely common in the MLB! I don’t have any numbers or facts to back this up…..but I’d say there’s more using the TIP grip than traditional these days!

Javier Baez on the Cubs uses TIP. He’s an okay SS.

Of course the greatest still goes old school!

Explain your wording here please.

You put your whole hand in the glove. At least you don't have a crooked palm crease
