Chapter 30 TJ Surgery
As Yuri said, Paul, the head coach of the St. Louis Red Caps Little League, is really good. He is different from the domestic Little League coaches Shen Qin has experienced and the coaches of the school baseball team.

Taking practice as an example, the total amount of practice has been reduced a lot. Just like what Ji Jia said, the daily pitching and swinging are firmly controlled within a certain amount.

Minato, who is also in the same team, is from Japan. He has more feelings about this training mode than Shen Qin, and he can't understand it: "In our Japan, as long as you join the baseball club, the training is very heavy. I When my brother was in high school, he had to practice two or three hours a day, seven days a week without a break. Our place... seems too easy."

easy?Shen Qin couldn't help clicking his tongue, can this still be called easy?But the two had just met, so they could only say perfunctorily: "It's not good to overdose, I think it's not bad, practice stop and go, it will help the balanced distribution of physical strength!"

In fact, he has some understanding of Xiao Minze's madness, after all, there is such a big brother!How can it not be crazy.

Minato's elder brother, Minatohara, was studying at university in Japan. He heard that he was the team's starting pitcher in high school. According to the Japanese name, he was the ace.

Every day, I have to run 30 laps around the field and practice pitching 200+ balls...

During the game, there is always a perfect shot!
With such a madman in front, the younger brother will inevitably imitate it, and it is understandable that the current training volume is too low.

But Paul scolded Xiao Minato when he knew what he was thinking: "I understand the plot of Koshien in Japan, but I despise the actions of some coaches!"

"They only value the school's immediate record! Let pitchers do a lot of practice, it is simply consuming future professional life ahead of time! No matter how hard people are, they can't stand it!"

"I've met a lot of Japanese pitchers, and how many of them had to undergo TJ surgery at a young age! It's basically a waste! They spent their shoulders in high school before they were fully developed! "

"Some coaches are so irresponsible! For pitchers! How precious are the shoulders! They need more rest! Reasonable distribution of game and contact time! Instead of squeezing your body bit by bit on the field Dry!"

Xiao Mina was a little confused, he couldn't understand the coach's words at all!Isn't training to make yourself stronger?Why would it hurt itself instead?

But as a former doctor, Shen Qin knew it very well.He knows what TJ's surgery is all about.

TJ surgery, short for tommy john, is a reconstruction of the ulnar accessory ligament.

You know, no matter how young or awesome your arm is, when throwing a high-speed baseball, those flexing and stretching postures and strength will bring the arm closer and closer to the operating table every time!
The twisting of the upper body inevitably tears the tissue on the inside of the elbow that connects the upper arm to the forearm!And this operation is now unavoidable even for many field players!
And all this is to extend their careers!
Although everyone's innate physical fitness is different.But if you are more professional in training when you are young!What is more reasonable?Is it possible to make such an operation come later?
You must know that after Tommy John's surgery, the entire rehabilitation period can be as long as 18 months or more. During this period, the ball is injured!Player's personal injury!It's all immeasurable!

Let's be more realistic, what if the player happens to go under the knife in the contract year?Then when you come back, will there be a team that will give you a satisfactory starting position and contract?
Although it has long been proven that most pitchers can return to their original pitching level or even improve after undergoing TJ surgery, who would not want this kind of surgery to come later, later?

Paul looked at Shen Qin who understood clearly and nodded in satisfaction. After all, he came from a home where the whole family was league players, so he knew a little more.As everyone knows, this is a huge misunderstanding.

So Paul continued to preach to Kominato: "There are many unscrupulous coaches, they only focus on the immediate results! They don't even consider the students' possible future careers! This is very wrong! Training! Of course it is necessary! But We need to be more reasonable! You know, you are just a child now! You have not yet fully developed a strong body!"

Xiao Min shrank his neck, Paul's words were completely different from his previous cognition.He needs time to digest.

Paul touched Xiao Minze's head, then smiled and asked Shen Qin: "Is your brother back?"

"I said I came back today, but I haven't seen it yet." Shen Qin shrugged: "The last spring training warm-up match just ended yesterday."

"You are a talented child! Work hard! Yuri has high expectations for you!"

What he said was nonsensical, Shen Qin didn't understand at all!It's true that he has some talent in some points, but now his body reaction can't keep up with his eyes at all, and he really needs to strengthen his training.

Xiao Min tilted his head: "The coach knows Qin's brother?"

"You know it too!" Paul smiled and walked away. Today's training is over, and he has to hurry up to attend the family gathering tonight.

I also know?Xiao Mina looked at Shen Qin in confusion, Shen Qin was a little embarrassed, he couldn't go up to everyone and say: "Hey, friend! My brother is Yuri Molina, oh yes! It's Molina from the Molina family. Little brother! Do you want to hold your mouth? Is it awesome? Is it a surprise? Is it a surprise?" That's crazy!
"Hello~ Qin!"

Shen Qin turned his head with a stiff neck, and the angry man was sitting in the car waving at him: "I'll take you home!"

day!
Xiao Min moved to Shen Qin's side!Shen Qin expressed helplessness!All right!Ask! Ask!
Xiao Minato whispered: "Qin! Is your brother a star who endorses shampoo? Acts in an American TV series? Oh~ No! That person is not that young! Ha~ I know why Paul said that! It turns out to be your brother He has a star face!”

ha?ha!ha~
Hahahaha~ Shen Qin was so laughing that he couldn't straighten up, Xiao Min was stupid!I have no idea where his laughter lies!
Shen Qin patted Xiao Minozhe: "That's right! He is the face of a star!" After speaking, he carried a huge equipment bag and ran to Paul's car, looked at him and said seriously: "I think you really have It's a celebrity! It will definitely be a hit in the future!"

Yuri was at a loss for what he said inexplicably, but he was still very happy with Shen Qin's increasingly outgoing personality: "Hey! The star who will be popular in the future invites you to watch the opening match! Will Qin give me this face?"

Shen Qin raised his chin: "This must be given!" Looking at Yuri's smile, he felt that it would be a good choice for him to become a doctor in the future, and if something bad happened to this guy in the future, he could still give it a good look.

Little did he know that Yuri, who was already on Shen Qin's injured list, was still thinking happily about whether to invite the neighbor who was said to be friends with Shen Qin to watch the opening game together.
