**Dear Editor:**

We read with interest the article by Kantrowitz et al^[@bibr2-2325967119854356]^ on athletic hip injuries in Major League Baseball pitchers associated with ulnar collateral ligament tears. Although overlooked in their report, their data support the observation previously published demonstrating a 75% prevalence of ulnar collateral ligament surgery among Major League Baseball pitchers undergoing hip arthroscopy.^[@bibr1-2325967119854356]^
