Description

Tommy John surgeries are up 170%. Pitchers are spending 2x more days on the IL than 15 years ago. And 50% of youth arms report pain during the season.


This week, Jake and Tyler sit down with Jason Colleran, biomechanics expert and founder of Kinetic Arm, to break down the root causes of baseball’s injury epidemic—and why the coaching ecosystem isn’t equipped to stop it.


Jason explains how his patented sleeve reduces elbow torque by ~30%, why most training programs are misguided, and how the next wave of performance gear can keep athletes healthy longer.
