In Baseball gloves, the index finger has padding because it it the one most likely to get it. If you catch a ball just a little bit off, it is usually the index finger that takes brunt of the force. To prevent you from hurting your finger even more I would put your finger outside of your glove.

Why do baseball players remove a finger from their glove and extend it outside?
That is a personal preference and done mainly for comfort. There is no advantage nor disadvantage in doing it .... some players just feel more comfortable with the finger outside the glove. The index finger is closest to the pocket of the glove so you get more padding by having it outside the finger of the glove.
Which finger is the index finger?
The index finger is between your thumb and middle finger.
Who is credited with inventing the split finger fastball and in what year?
A split-finger fastball or splitter is a pitch in baseball and a variant of the straight fastball. It is named after the technique of putting the index and middle finger on different sides of the ball, or "splitting" them. When thrown hard, it appears to be a fastball to the batter, but suddenly "drops off the table" towards home plate
