In some cases, pitchers will seem to throw harder after the surgery than they did before the injury that caused the surgery to be necessary. However, many people believe this is generally due to two factors. The first is pitchers' increased attention to conditioning. The second is that in many cases it can take several years for the UCL to degrade. Over these years the pitcher's velocity will gradually decrease. As a result, the surgery simply allows the pitcher to throw at the velocity that they could before their UCL started to degrade.
