Why does my elbow hurt when I throw a baseball?

We can't diagnose without seeing you, but throwing pain is usually a combination of: volume mismanagement, rest timing, strength or flexibility gaps, sleep, and nutrition. The key is figuring out which of these applies to you. Usually, it's all of the above.

What are the warning signs of a UCL injury?

If all of the factors we listed above are out of balance for a long time, there may not be any warning signs at all. Sometimes, the warning signs are: a drop in velo, more noticeable fatigue than usual, feeling extremely tight in the arm or whole body and bad performance.

How do I know if I need Tommy John surgery?

Only a medical doctor who specializes in orthopedics and examines you can tell you that for sure. Luckily research tells us that about 80% of all UCL injuries do not need surgery.

Yes. If you have pain, you should stop throwing most of the time.

What's the difference between pain and soreness as a thrower?

Generally pain that feels sharp and/or pokey in a pinpoint part of your arm that does not get better after warming up is pain. If the arm feels "full" or "tight" and can be worked out with a good warmup is soreness.
