Ankle Injury - Ankle Guards?
My daughter is in her 2nd year of fast pitch, 14U. In April, she broke her ankle (fractured her fibula) and has just been released from her walking boot and now just has a brace for a little while.
Since she broke the outer ankle, and has taken hits there in the past, we are looking at getting a leg guard for her to wear for the rest of the season while the bone finishes healing. With us being fairly new to the sport, the gear is a bit confusing. We found batter leg guards but it looks as though the ankle protection is for the inside ankle of your front batting foot.
She is a right handed batter and it’s her left outside ankle (closest to the pitchers mound). Can anyone recommend what might work best for protection without interfering with performance? I have seen double ankle leg guards but they look so bulky.
