MIDATLANTICDAD,
Guess what, the percentage of pitchers having TJ surgery from the Dominican is exactly the same percentage of pitchers having TJ surgery here. Since they play year around, shouldn't it be much higher?

I was wondering if the young DR pitchers were being used up and tossed aside, with no opportunity to get TJS. But the fact that 56% of the DR players in the MLB are pitchers totally flies in the face of that thinking. If pitching year round in the DR isn't tearing up UCLs any worse than in the USA, then we could probably learn something from what they're doing.
