"When I was drafted I was introduced to the benefits of wearing thumb guards. I spent the next 10 years molding, shaping and breaking in 2 to 3 thumb guards every season with the products that were offered to me by my trainers. That all stopped when I was introduced to a prototype Nexguard Thumb Guard. It was more comfortable, more form fitting, thinner and WAY more durable. I didn’t need another thumb guard for four more years until I misplaced mine. There is not another thumb guard on the market right now that compares to Nexguard. It helped my framing numbers while in AAA and the Big Leagues because I was able to get under low pitches and control them into the zone. The Nexguard Thumb Guard will be the last thumb guard you ever need to buy."

“Thanks to Nexguard, finally there is a catchers thumb guard that actually protects your thumb. I have tried over 10 different guards over my 12 years in professional baseball. The Nexguard I wear now has protected me all season long without getting “thumbed” by a single pitch or foul ball. Not only does it provide the best protection, but its durability should last for many more seasons to come”

“Nexguard thumb guards are unbelievable. Not only are they comfortable but they actually protect your thumb from any damage whatsoever. The customizability plays a huge role in getting you a thumb guard that supports YOUR thumb. They make it very easy to catch without having to worry about any damage. With framing taking a huge precedence in baseball, not having to worry about a thumb injury allows me to do my job without worrying about any pain to my thumb. 10/10 would recommend.”

I have used multiple types of thumb protection during my baseball career. Nexguard stands out as the premium protection for catchers' thumbs. Since switching to Nexguard in 2024, no product has given me as much reassurance, confidence and comfort while playing my game behind the dish.

Nexguard is the best protective thumb guard on the market. Its unique design and padding make it the most comfortable and durable one there is in the game. I never feel anything getting jammed on my thumb anymore. I highly recommend to any catchers out there from youth to pro.

From DM: "Hey guys, I have used the old school thumb guards through college and high school, and made the switch to Nexguards once I began my pro career. After catching my first bullpen with it, I knew I would never switch back. In terms of comfort, protectiveness, and durability your product is better than anything else out there! Just wanted to show my appreciation. No doubt Nexguard will become ubiquitous among catchers at all levels soon."

I’ve used several other products on the market. They either formed poorly or fell short of my expectations to prevent injury. The Nexguard is a custom fit made from superior materials that offers the highest level of protection that I’ve ever used. Nexguard gives me the added confidence necessary to deliver defensively for all types of pitchers. It’s a must for every serious catcher.

SCOTT

NEXGUARD CUSTOMER


Having sustained two thumb injuries requiring surgery, I’ve tried just about every thumb guard on the market over the last ten years without being satisfied with any of them. I immediately bought two Nexguards the day their website launched, and they are better than I could have imagined. None of the previous thumb guards provided the protection and support that Nexguards do. This is a game changer.
