Is there a way of altering this to work with Tommy John surgery patients? That would be a paradigm shift in MLB, just as this would be in football.

In fact yes: that is already in the works... not universally, but some UCL patients are getting this. The recovery time is somewhere in the 50-75% range of a traditional 'Tommy John' procedure.

Doesn’t have a catchy name to it yet for UCL repair, but if you hear about somebody getting the ‘internal brace’ procedure... that’s it.
