30+ players already this year have needed TJ surgury and for the first time if a player plays for 10 years hes got a 50 percent chance to have it.
People have been wondering the cause for years. I have always posited that curveballs and too many innings when the pitchers are kids is the cause.
Today on Chicago sports radio the actual Tommie John who used to play with the white sox first hurt his elbow when he was 13. His surgeons always thought it was because of his injuries when he was young.
Recently Scott Boras-horrible agent- said its because parents are pushing their kids to throw in winter leagues so they get drafted early and seen by scouts.
What do you guys think?

what I find interesting is the microfractures do not show up on MRIs usually.
