Preventing Tommy John Surgery & Protecting the UCL — FlexPro Grip Co-Founder Adam Moreau - Ep. 180

UCL injuries and Tommy John surgery have become an epidemic in baseball at every level — and one company has spent years chasing the science to find a better way to protect pitchers from the inside out. In this episode of Dugout Dish, Andy and Keith sit down with FlexPro Grip Co-Founder Adam Moreau to talk about how FlexPro Grip was developed, what the science actually says about UCL health, and why MLB teams, college programs, high schools, and individual athletes from 8 year olds to Cy Young winners are all using it to strengthen their arms, prevent injury, and recover faster.   What we cover:   What FlexPro Grip is, how it works, and what makes it different from every other arm care product on the market The science behind UCL injuries — what the research says about how and why pitchers get hurt and what can actually be done to prevent it How Adam and the FlexPro Grip team spent two years studying every piece of research written about UCL injuries to develop a device that addresses the root cause rather than just the symptoms How FlexPro Grip strengthens the tendons and forearm muscles that protect the UCL — helping pitchers throw harder and safer at the same time The connection between improved forearm strength and increased spin rates and what that means for a pitcher's performance and recruiting profile How MLB teams are incorporating FlexPro Grip into their arm care programs and what that adoption says about the product's effectiveness How college programs and high school pitchers are using FlexPro Grip to stay healthy throughout long and demanding seasons How athletes recovering from Tommy John surgery are using FlexPro Grip to rehab at a higher rate and return to the mound stronger than before The youth arm injury epidemic — pitch counts, overuse, and what actually matters most for protecting young arms before the damage is done Why FlexPro Grip works for athletes at every level from 8 year olds just learning to throw all the way to professional pitchers competing at the highest level of the game   Whether your son is a youth pitcher, a high school recruit, a college pitcher, or a recovering athlete — this episode could change the way you think about arm care and injury prevention forever.
