Miller Hogan, former St. Louis Billiken and 6th round draft pick of the Tampa Bay Rays in 2018, joins The Layback Podcast for episode 5. Hogan discusses his hybrid elbow reconstruction, what seems like the largest pitching arsenal known to man, his own development and rehab plans, being a Swiss army knife in the Rays system, and his goals to get back on the field. For the video game crew, he also casually drops his MLB The Show prowess. With our discussion on pitch grips, we highly suggest viewing that portion of the podcast at https://youtu.be/yk6yoBUFiFM.

Joshua Paulina, former professional pitcher and current college pitcher, joins Layback host Adam Moreau to discuss his unique path through the baseball world. The two time Tommy John survivor discusses the similarities and differences between both his elbow surgery experiences. As he fights to get back to the field later this spring, he takes things a day at a time in his rehab with the intention of helping the West Chester University Rams compete for a national title.

Layback host, Adam Moreau, quickly covers the plans for the show. UCL tears may be a specific injury, but the support network is vast. The FlexPro Grip crew aims to further add to the Tommy John community by creating a platform for players, parents, clinicians, coaches, and researchers to share their stories.
