that makes 9 pitchers now with 7 needing Tommy John surgery.
You have 7 pitchers with injuries this year alone requiring TJ? That sounds unbelievable.
ETA: Wikipedia tells me MLB has only had 10 pitchers undergo TJ since the beginning of 2016. What the hell is MSU doing to their pitchers?

9 pitchers lost for the year does too. I'm not a huge baseball guy, but how many do you carry on a roster?
For OM, I can think of 4 starters, two middle relievers, and two closers. That's eight. And I'm sure there's a handful of other guys in development that I've never seen. But I was thinking you only carried like 12 pitchers on a roster. Maybe 14-15 at the max. And you're saying 9 of them are down? How do you even make it through a 4 game week?

This is not a fair comparison. The overwhelming majority of TJ surgeries are done on young males whose growth plates are still open. It would be safe to say that most MLB players have reached physical maturity.
