Can someone explain the purpose of the ring that players wear on their thumb while hitting? And any science behind it? Just curious……

It deadens the vibration from balls hit off the end of the bat, which can hurt like hell and become a chronic problem. 

That vibration is especially tough on the thumb.

The goal is to not let Paddock rest. Quick at bats

I'm sure them stirrups take a while to get just right after taking a crap.

I thought I would look this up, and here is one for the ages:

A ring on a batter’s thumb helps to ensure that the batter is poured evenly and smoothly into the pan. The ring also prevents the batter from sticking to the spatula, making it easier for you to cook your dish correctly.

Make sure that you always use a fresh ring when preparing batters, as old rings can cause them to become thick and difficult to work with. If your batter starts to stick to the pan or spatula, try adding more liquid or Amend until it becomes smooth again.

Our batters don't stick to the pan. Or the plan.
