Every season, young baseball players step onto the mound chasing dreams. And every season, more of them walk off with elbow injuries that threaten those dreams before they ever begin. Tommy John surgery, once rare, is now common—even among teenagers. In Getting Cut, renowned sports medicine surgeon Dr. Christopher Ahmad explains why this is happening and, more importantly, how we can change it.
