#1 cause for TJ surgery is overuse. Throwing thru pain, tightness, and fatigue are going to increase the likelihood of UCL tear. And if you think for one moment, that as frosh pitcher under Murphy, he was going to say, "my arm is just not feeling it today Coach" or "I need a couple of days because my arm is tired," you are fooling yourself and have not had a good conversation with a competitive P5 pitcher. Yeah, he probably does feel like it was worth it but that is because there is no crystal ball for his future. If there was and it showed him winning an MLB pennant and/or making millions of dollars pitching in the Big's, then I am betting he would second guess weather or not it was worth it.
