The Arm: Inside the Billion-Dollar Mystery of the Most Valuable Commodity in Sports by Jeff Passan

5.0

A fascinating look at the epidemic of elbow injuries that currently plagues MLB. Passan followed Daniel Hudson and Todd Coffey as they attempted to come back from second Tommy John surgeries, and talks with so called arm gurus along the way. Coffey is the classic example of the athlete who doesn't know when it's time to walk away, but I never felt bad for him because he comes off as completely unlikable. Hudson on the other hand is a much more sympathetic as you follow his struggles to make it back. The short section on Trevor Bauer towards the end did nothing but amplify my love for him, he is so weird, but in the best way possible.
