How do I wear a Hit Hero thumb guard?

Hit Hero can be worn on the thumb or index finger, inside or outside the hand, based on where you feel the most impact. There is no wrong way. It is designed to work with your natural grip, not against it.

Does a thumb guard work for catchers?

Yes. Catchers use a thumb guard to absorb impact from foul tips and jams behind the plate, and it takes the bite out of bat sting when they hit. It can be worn on the thumb or index finger, wherever the impact lands.
