Yes there are quite a few pitchers who have come back from Tommy John surgurey and been successful. One of the things they say about it is that pitchers need a lot of recovery time after getting it so they have a lot of time to heal their body and strengthen their throwing arm for a lot longer then they might have origianlly. A lot of the times especially now a days pitchers come back even stronger and better then before so what was once looked upon as a very bad thing might not be so bad afterall after the initial rehab period.What team in major league baseball has been no hit against the least of times of any other team?
