If this were the case, you would see a significantly larger portion of US players getting TJ vs. players from the DR and other latin american countries. That's not the case.
so there are more TJ surgeries performed in the DR and other latin american countries?

It's about the same as the US.

That 16 percent of pitchers from the US had undergone Tommy John surgery – as had 16 percent of pitchers from the Dominican, and 16 percent from all Latin American countries.
“We saw no difference,” Conte said. “At the end of the day, when you look at who has had Tommy John surgeries, country doesn’t seem to have a significant importance.
“Whether they come from the Dominican or the United States, it looks like they’re all kind of getting it at some point – overall, major and minor leagues, about 16 percent.”
