I can feel for you in terms on a bent little finger. I had a 16″ softball injury that happened probably now some close to 30 years ago. I went to catch a softball, and it jammed my left pinkie. I had ligament damage, but went to see my doctor way too late. So, now I have a bent finger especially after the knuckle. I try to take it slow, and make the best of having a bent finger. I can still use the finger, and it functions just fine. I do think as players that we find ways to compensate for bent fingers, etc. As the old saying goes, “There is more than one way to skin a cat”. Best of luck and let us know how things are going.
