| This week I've been looking at how high school and college pitchers use Tommy John to increase velocity in there pitches. Many young pitchers train to be more muscular to increase their pitch speed. Many pitchers are looking for an extra boost to their pitch speed, and test their luck with the 85% success rate of UCL reconstruction, or Tommy John surgery. |

Cautioning that it isn't always the miracle that young pitchers think it is. | Doctor Christopher Ahmad, head physician for the New York Yankees, "It's not much different from thinking performance enhancing drugs can make you throw harder." More to come next week. |
