The Importance of Tommy John Surgery in Baseball

If there were an actual surgery that you could have preemptively to prevent a ligament spring, then I don't think MLB would ban it. It'd be tough because you wouldn't want players to feel obligated to have a surgery is the thing. There are already enough imbalances when it comes to access to coaching and fields and equipment and everything else. So that would be bad. If there were a way to prevent Tommy John surgery, though, that would be good.
