Tommy John Surgery: What Every Baseball Player (and Parent) Needs to Know Before Going Under the Knife If you or your kid just got told "you need Tommy John" — read this before doing anything else. This is the most complete breakdown of Tommy John surgery i've seen written for actual baseball families (not just doctors). it covers:

🔵 what UCL reconstruction actually is and why it's named after a pitcher 🔵 the warning signs most people miss until it's too late 🔵 when surgery is NOT the answer (PRP works for some tears) 🔵 what happens inside the OR step by step 🔵 the honest 12–18 month recovery timeline 🔵 the exact questions to ask your surgeon before agreeing to anything written by the team behind Dr. Christopher Ahmad's practice — he's the Head Team Physician for the New York Yankees and one of the top Tommy John surgery specialists in New York City. the guy literally does this surgery on MLB pitchers.

PSA for every baseball family: here's what Tommy John surgery recovery actually looks like 🧵⚾ if your pitcher just got diagnosed with a UCL tear or is scheduled for Tommy John surgery — save this. this infographic breaks down the real recovery timeline from surgery day all the way to full return to competition. no fluff, no vague "it takes about a year" — actual phases, actual milestones. the tldr:

day 0 → surgery (outpatient, home same day)

weeks 1–3 → splint, rest, swelling control

weeks 3–6 → early PT, range of motion comes back

months 2–4 → strengthening phase (elbow, shoulder, core)

months 4–6 → flat-ground throwing starts 🎯

months 6–9 → long toss, velocity monitored

months 9–12 → back on the mound (finally)

months 12–18 → full competitive clearance ✅

80–90% of pitchers return to their prior level of competition when the surgery is done right and the protocol is followed. this comes from Dr. Christopher Ahmad MD — the Head Team Physician for the New York Yankees and one of the most experienced Tommy John surgery specialists in New York City. full guide (worth bookmarking): http://drchristophersahmad.wordpress.com/2026/06/01/tommy-john-surgery-baseball-players-parents-guide/ whether you're a high school pitcher, a college player, or a baseball parent trying to make sense of what comes next — this is the timeline to understand before you make any decisions.

Jax's Drama (on Wattpad) http://my.w.tt/UiNb/lznl9WMZdz Jax Eckart is a 17 year old jock who has run into a problem. He has to give up his love for baseball because he injured his shoulder, and he won't be able to play ever again. And since there's no more baseball, there's no more athletics. Therefore, Jax decides to join drama because he thought it was just a place after school to horse around in, and he needed the credits. Yet, he comes to find that the drama club is in need of help because the drama teacher is too over emotional and fragile to ever be taken seriously (possibly even sporadic in thoughts), and the classroom is full of some crazy, funny, and socially rejected people. Jax unwillingly takes over as the director, and not only does he not realize what he's gotten himself into, but he might just fall for the girl who quotes too many Audrey Hepburn films and sings too much Stevie Nicks. Will the production of Beauty and the Beast be a major success, or an epic fail? Will Jax strike out, or is it his winning season? cover credit: @SurroundedByThorns
