Why do so many pitchers need Tommy John surgery?

Описание: It comes down to overuse. Repetitive pitching puts tremendous stress on the ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) in the elbow. Over time, that ligament stretches, develops microtears, and can eventually rupture—leading to the need for reconstruction.

But not every pitcher is destined for surgery. By limiting pitch counts, listening to early warning signs like elbow pain, and committing to proper rehab, the risk of long-term damage drops dramatically.

Protect the elbow, protect the career.
