What is Tommy John Surgery?
UCL reconstruction is a surgery commonly used to repair a torn ulnar collateral ligament inside the elbow by replacing it with a tendon from elsewhere in the body. The goal of the surgery is to stabilize the elbow, reduce or eliminate pain and restore stability and range of motion. This procedure was introduced and first performed by Frank Jobe, M.D., on baseball pitcher Tommy John in 1974—hence the colloquial name Tommy John surgery.

The game is going to be televised on Fox with Joe Davis, John Smoltz, Ken Rosenthal commentating!
Joe Davis is the lead play-by-play announcer for FOX Sports’ MLB coverage and also serves as a FOX NFL play-by-play announcer alongside three-time Pro Bowler Greg Olsen in 2024 after calling games with three-time Super Bowl champion Daryl Johnston in 2023.
Prior to assuming the lead role, Davis called select regular season matchups for the network. He has been in the booth for FOX Sports’ Division Series coverage since 2017 and called a Championship Series game alongside Smoltz during the 2019 and 2020 MLB Postseasons, respectively.
The highly revered announcer is also the television voice of the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Davis joined FOX Sports in 2014 as a play-by-play announcer for the network’s college football, college basketball and Major League Baseball coverage.
A former collegiate quarterback with a remarkable resume of on-air experience, Davis joined analyst Brock Huard to call college football during the fall 2021 season.
A native of Potterville, Mich., Davis attended Beloit (Wis.) College, where he was a four-year letter winner on the school’s football team. A two-time team captain, he appeared in 32 games during his career, accounting for 13 touchdowns (eight passing, five rushing) from the quarterback position over his first two seasons before a shoulder injury prompted a move to wide receiver, where he racked up a total of 19 receptions for 230 yards (12.1 avg.) across his junior and senior years. The most important training he received in college, however, may have come during the off-season when he assumed play-by-play duties for the school’s athletic department, announcing baseball and men’s and women’s basketball games on local radio and television. Davis served as the voice of Buccaneer spring sports for his final three years on campus before graduating in 2010.
Before his senior year of college, Davis secured a summer job as the manager of broadcasting for the Schaumburg Flyers baseball team of the independent Northern League, serving as the team’s play-by-play voice and media relations director. With that professional experience in hand, he landed a job as the play-by-play voice of the Montgomery (Ala.) Biscuits, the Double-A affiliate of the Tampa Bay Rays. Davis called Biscuits games for three seasons and was named the Southern League Broadcaster of the Year in 2012. While in Montgomery, he also gained experience as a radio host for the Baylor Independent Sports Properties Network, whose carrier had a studio nearby. During that time, he also caught on at Comcast Sports Southeast, where he picked up reps as a play-by-play announcer for college football, basketball and baseball on a network that was accessible in 15 million homes.
In July 2012, he made the impressive leap to national television at the age of 24, joining ESPN as an announcer, ultimately lending his call to college baseball, basketball, football, hockey and softball games. Davis also appeared in spot duty for Major League Baseball contests on ESPN Radio. On Dec. 26, 2013, Davis was assigned to the network’s broadcast of the Poinsettia Bowl between Utah State and Northern Illinois, and at age 25 became the youngest person to ever announce a bowl game for ESPN. Davis was hired by the Los Angeles Dodgers in November 2015 to call road games for the team-owned SportsNet LA, beginning with the 2016 season, and assumed the role full-time in 2017, succeeding legendary Hall of Fame broadcaster, Vin Scully.
Born in Lansing, Mich., Davis resides in South Pasadena, Calif., with wife Libby and three children. He attended Potterville High School, where he was a two-time all-state quarterback and an All-Region baseball player. His father, Paul, was Potterville High’s head football coach and is a member of the Michigan High School Football Coaches’ Hall of Fame. Paul accompanies Joe on college football broadcasting trips and serves as his spotter in the TV booth. Joe Davis earned a B.A. in communications and a minor in journalism from Beloit College in 2010. In his free time, he enjoys spending time with his family, working out and grilling.

A NATURAL IN THE BROADCAST BOOTH
Smoltz joined FOX Sports in 2014, and after just two seasons was elevated to the network’s lead broadcast team. He called his first World Series in 2016 alongside Emmy Award-winning play-by-play announcer Joe Buck, and together they have been the voice of the Fall Classic for four consecutive years.
MLB LEGEND
A right-handed pitcher, Smoltz gained first-ballot admission into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 2015, a testament to the excellence of his memorable playing career. He played 21 seasons in the major leagues, tossing 3,473 innings over 723 games (481 starts) and posting a 213-155 record and lifetime 3.33 ERA, with 3,084 strikeouts. Impressively, Smoltz also registered 154 saves over a four-season stint as a closer from 2001 to 2004, becoming the first player in MLB history to record both 200 wins and 150 saves in his career.
Remembered as one of the cornerstone pieces of the Atlanta Braves dynasty that ruled the National League throughout the 1990s and early 2000s, Smoltz joined fellow Hall of Famers Tom Glavine and Greg Maddux atop a fearsome starting rotation that helped deliver the Braves 14 division titles, five National League pennants and the 1995 World Series championship. Smoltz was voted to eight All-Star Games and enjoyed his finest season in 1996, when he won the National League Cy Young Award after posting a 24-8 record and 2.94 ERA, leading the National League with career highs in both wins (24) and strikeouts (276).
Also regarded as a dominant postseason performer, Smoltz fired a complete game shutout in Game 7 of the 1991 National League Championship Series to send the franchise to its first World Series since 1958. In Game 7 of the ensuing World Series, he matched wits with Minnesota Twins starter Jack Morris for seven and one-third shutout innings in what was voted the second greatest game of the last 50 years in MLB Network’s 2011 series, "MLB’s 20 Greatest Games." The following year, he was named the Most Valuable Player of the 1992 NLCS after winning Games 1 and 4 and starting Game 7 en route to to another trip to the Fall Classic. Smoltz owns a lifetime postseason ERA of 2.67, and his 199 career strikeouts and 15 wins rank second all-time in MLB playoff history.
The Atlanta Braves retired Smoltz’s jersey in 2012.
AWARD WINNING
Smoltz was the recipient of the 2005 Lou Gehrig Memorial Award, the 2005 Roberto Clemente Award, the 2007 Branch Rickey Award and was chosen by his peers as the MLBPA’s Marvin Miller Man of the Year in 2002 and 2003 for his outstanding community service.
