Meaning of "しとーば"


Context: Character introduced himself as a baseball player part of the 二軍 team
then says:

> 野球選手ちゅうても、筋トレしすぎてケガ **しとーば** 、１軍に上がったことはないがや

I assume it's some kind of dialect but I was not able to find what it means.




がや should be part of [Nagoya
dialect](https://dic.nicovideo.jp/t/a/%E5%90%8D%E5%8F%A4%E5%B1%8B%E5%BC%81)
and is an ending particle used to describe a surprise or claim.

Thanks to the comment,

> `So, I reckon しとーば should be a 名古屋弁{なごやべん}.`

this doesn't seem to be correct. However, there does seem to be a similar
variant used in Kumamoto dialect
[ばい](https://dictionary.goo.ne.jp/leaf/dialect/3394/m0u/) as well as in Gunma
dialect [ばい](https://twitter.com/johshu_ben/status/1087534908346716160).

I guess it means しているので (Kumamoto) or してばかり（Gunma) in your contexts.

ちゅうても is also a dialect-ish phrase for といっても, but I think it's pretty common
even in Kanto (not only in Nagoya).

I think

> 野球選手といっても、筋トレしすぎてケガしているので、１軍に上がったことはないんだ。

> _Even if he is a professional baseball player, he has never played for the
> first team due to an injury from excessive muscle training. (Somewhat
> blaming in a way)._

is standard Japanese.
