BASEBALL PLAYERS & PARENTS‼️ A 2025 study of 112 pitchers at the MLB Combine found: 75% had evidence of a SLAP tear 95% had rotator cuff abnormalities 80%+ had UCL abnormalities Yet 95% of all 112 players studied reported no current pain or limitations. So what's the takeaway? An MRI showing a tear DOES NOT automatically mean you need surgery. MRI findings are important, but they don't always explain an athlete's symptoms. If you're dealing with shoulder or elbow pain, get evaluated by a qualified sports PT or sports medicine professional. Imaging and surgery may be necessary in some cases, but they aren't always the first step. Treat the ATHLETE, not just the MRI.

High School Baseball Players‼️ You WANT to throw 90mph. You WANT to hit the ball 100mph. You WANT to play college baseball. But are your daily habits actually matching those goals? You can have the best training program in the world. But if you're consistently underfueling your body, you're limiting your potential. If you're an undersized athlete trying to build muscle, eating enough NEEDS to be a priority. Stop treating nutrition like an afterthought. Your development doesn't stop when you leave the gym.
