Hey Kevin!!
As a former college baseball player I know how valuable shoulders are even when it's your non-throwing hand.
I would highly recommend you go see an ortho immediately. You could have minor damage in the shoulder that is laying the framework for a major problem down the road.
What part of your shoulder hurts? Top/front/back? Have you injured that shoulder prior to the current pain? Do you sleep on that shoulder at night? Does it hurt when you lift? Does it only hurt when you move it or does it also hurt when it's sedentary? Does it hurt when you are carrying an object (ex.baseball bat). I make it clear to everyone that I'm not a doctor or PT but it will help your ortho with diagnosis and treatment if they have as much info as possible.
On a lighter side...maybe you just don't want to run sprints. I was a pitcher in college and when our staff had to run all sorts of injuries came out of the woodwork. "Uh...coach? My thumb hurts...can I do the bike instead?" I'm just kidding, but I'm sure you've seen that in your practices at least once.
Go get checked out and keep us posted on your progress.
