Lightbulb softball?

Do you slide into base on that leg?

The reason I ask is that MP is not common in young patients, unless an
injury occurs.

If you damage the bursa on the hip in a fall, or slide, you can develop
trochanteric bursitis, which can mimic MP. It is not exactly the same.
Sometimes an injection of a steroid can help this reduce inflammation and
pain.

Here is something to read:

A visit to an orthopedic or sports medicine doctor may be useful for you.
