Baseball is in Dorsy’s blood – literally. His dad played in the pros, and now the Bishop Hendricken star is committed to play NCAA Divison I baseball for the University of Rhode Island. But this teen’s pitching dreams were nearly dashed when he found out he had a complete tear of the ulnar collateral ligament and needed to undergo Tommy John surgery. From the initial diagnosis with Dr. Peter Kriz, surgery with Dr. Andrew Green, all the way through physical therapy with Mike Coyne – a former college baseball player himself – Dorsy and his family chose the professionals at University Orthopedics to guide them through the entire process. Now, Dorsy is on the mend and feels his future has never looked brighter.
