When you have an injury in your forearm, it affects the command of your pitches. I would yank pitches down away, or they were staying up.

I came back from my ACL injury and won MVP. So, what's a groin? What's an adductor? That's how I look at things. I feel like if you just continue to take care of your body, working out, making sure you're in shape and you stay on top of your game, you can play as long as you want.
