Welcome to the Blog page I am excited to share my insight on various sports medicine topics. Please feel free to follow up with any questions, I’m always happy to answer if I can.

We are going to begin a 5-part blog on Injury Prevention in Throwers. Over the last 10-20 years we have seen a huge rise in injuries and surgeries at every level of baseball. When I started in professional baseball in the late 90s, UCL reconstructions (Tommy John surgeries) were almost only occurring in professional baseball pitchers with the occasional college baseball pitcher. Now it’s common to see multiple pitchers at most high schools who have had Tommy John surgery. Approximately 60% of UCL Reconstructions are now performed on adolescent athletes. So, what is causing this and HOW do we prevent it or at least minimize the chance of injuries and surgeries?  Over the coming weeks, we will tackle that question. Click the headings to read the full blog for each topic.
