Bonus Episode - The Rise in Tommy John Surgeries

There were more Tommy John surgeries performed on pitchers in 2024 alone than there were in the first 25 years of the procedure's existence. That is a scary precedent, and Check Your Brain's Tony Mazur doesn't see a course correction anytime soon. Tony lays out the factors as to why these injuries keep occurring, from only playing one sport to overuse and overbearing parents.     Be sure to subscribe to Tony's Patreon. $3 gets you just audio, $5 gets video AND audio, and $10 has all of the above, as well as bonus podcasts per week.
