yesterday i was batting in batting practice and alll of the sudden when i was done my hip started to be sore. its never happened to me. if i continue to play could i cause more damage to my hip? i just would like to know cause im in the playoffs and its sore when i turn when i swing and sore when run. now its been a fews days and its been gradually getting more sore as i keep playing. could i do more damage to my hip if i keep playing?
 
I would say to stay off the leg for afew days just to give the muscle some time to recover. I had the same problem on a swing but it was my pectoral muscle on my left side. It took alot of careful stretching and afew days (closer to a week) off from practice for it to be almost 100%.
 
Ideally you want to:

Take Ibuprofen
Heat
Stretch
Massage
Ice

In that order.

You should definitely check with your trainer before you try any of this because you could do more damage if it is serious. You know your body best and will have to decide. Check yougoprobaseball.com under the hitting section for more advice on injury prevention for hitters. I hope this helps!
