It's mental. The surgery consists of taking a tendon and drilling holes through two bones using that tendon to tie them together in a figure eight pattern where the UCL used to be. The physiology of it is actually amazing. The tendon literally becomes a ligament. Beyond that, any changes take place because of rehab. Nothing to do with the surgery itself. If every healthy pitcher went through the same process, they'd see "improvements" too.


That's all fine. I wasn't supposing the "why", just stating what I have seen and heard as a result.

Seems like you agree, but want me to argue about how that result happens. I don't care. People get funky movement on the ball after they heal and rehab from TJ surgery. Period. End of statement for me.

I'm not asking you to argue. I just had no idea what you meant. "Funky movement" doesn't mean anything. More movement? Maybe. It's not that common. But it happens due possible to more velocity for the same angle or change in slot. But the change in slot is typically more over the top often meaning LESS movement but with more speed.
