Article Synopsis
- The ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) in the elbow is often injured in baseball pitchers due to the stress of overhead throwing, and this study focuses on the impact of UCL reconstruction on their pitching performance.*
-
- Data was gathered from 109 patients who underwent UCL surgery from 2010 to 2020, analyzing their pitching stats post-recovery using a database for Major League Baseball players.*
-
- Results showed that post-surgery, pitchers used fastballs less and relied more on off-speed pitches, but overall pitching velocity remained nearly unchanged, highlighting the need for further research into performance changes.*
