It is not uncommon to injure the UCL in other ways besides pitching, it just may be that because he pitched it was discovered. One wouldn't need to have it repaired unless they played baseball or another sport that required it to be 100%.

A ML baseball player I know bumped the inside part of his elbow against a pole and the next thing you know TJS was required as it was torn (not a pitcher so recovery was quicker). Could have actually been torn for awhile, but because he didn't throw as much or as hard as a pitcher, maybe he didn't know it was torn.

Anyway, what WAS the final outcome?
