I don't think Routt had Tommy John if my memory serves me. I think he had something like a nerve translation in his elbow or something like that?

The epidemic has really just started. It's not like there is tremendous history there, this year round baseball stuff just started when these guys were kids. We certainly should know something next year. It's also hard to get injured your freshman year, then have a good career, when the recovery is 1.5 years.
Only ones I remember having it (before the 2016 rash) were Paul Young and Ford. Jacob Lindgren had it, but after MSU. Reid Humphreys had it in high school.
I also think it's a lot more invasive surgery than many think. There doesn't seem to be a very high return rate on young arms.
I dont think people quite understand what we have in our head baseball coach
The article seems to agree with you. He "faced Tommy John" but it does not say that he had Tommy John. The article also mentions Dr Andrews, gad that we are consulting the best.
