Hi, the possibilities are that you have a lymph filled sac which empties on pressure and refills again.This does not require any treatment as such.
Localised muscle inflammation called myositis could be another cause .This needs follow up and any sign of weakness or wasting to be checked up by a neurologist.
your long years of baseball could have resulted in a small muscle tear which fills with blood initially and after healing leave a small gap in the tissue
