Imaging: See your doctor for a full examination of your hand. You may need further imaging such as X Ray/ MRI to rule out underlying bony or ligament damage

Few options: Rest the hand and stop batting for a while. Could wear gloves to see if the padding helps. But if you continue to have issues you need to find another sport
