Tampa Bay Ace Pitcher to Tommy John

[Biernutz]

Ace Tampa pitcher Matt Moore is done for the year to have Tommy John surgery
next week. Moore has a torn ligament and will be out for over a year.
The Jays were counting on him after he went 17-4 last season.

You mean Rays? It has become a phenomena this Tommy John surgery. It seems to me, that they are putting too much strain on pitchers from a young age and they're ruining the arms before they even get to the big leagues...

Kids pitch year round now starting in high school. Years ago you had seasons, where you played baseball starting in
Feb, or March and ended in June or July....Then it was football.....They are trying to throw curve balls in Little League...

I know. I was a pitcher when I was younger. I no longer have the velocity or strength to even pitch like I used to. I think the all-year round schedule like you mentioned is going to be something that needs to be changed. It's like the concussion protocol--these pitchers are ruining their arms before they even reach their natural prime. Sucks...especially if your a A's or Braves fan...
