Strider described a surprising sight X-rays were done on his elbow and why he doesn't want pitchers to stop striving for higher velocity.

ATLANTA — Braves players and team officials sounded more confident in the past week talking about returning to full capacity next year than you might expect regarding a pitcher who just had his second major elbow surgery in five years. But there was a reason for their optimism, beyond Strider’s famous work ethic and teammates’ desire to will a quick return into being.

Guys are bigger, faster and stronger than they’ve ever been. I mean, you can’t take that away. “You don’t want guys to compete below their potential, below their ability, just to prevent injuries. The environment of the game should be such that guys are able to compete at their highest ability and stay healthy, or have a chance to. So, it’s a long conversation.” Strider also shared an analogy from a recent discussion he had on the topic.
