I'm not quite sure as to where to put this Discussion, so I figured if I put it in the General Discussion Board there would be more people viewing this and hopefully more people replying to this.
It's been said by numerous qualified Baseball experts that when the elbow is injured your accuracy is effected and when your shoulder is injured your velocity is effected.
That being said, can anyone explain or rationalize the fact that when Pitchers have Tommy John surgery done the majority of the 'population' come back throwing harder then before they were injured?
I do understand that the lay off will give the entire arm time to rest and recover. But it still perplexes me that when you have a shoulder injury you may or may not throw as hard if not harder then you were before the injury. Yet if you have TJ chances are you will throw harder then prior to the injury.
Just curious...
