All it took was one pitch. One pitch to end Kide Adetuyi’s freshman baseball season at Florida Atlantic University.
On Adetuyi’s first live ball in the fall of 2023, he threw a curveball and heard a pop. The pop was his ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) tearing. The UCL is located on the inner side of the elbow and helps to stabilize the elbow joint, especially during a throw.
