""I would think so. You do so much little strength exercises for your arm that you didn't really do pre-surgery," Hurt explained. "So, getting to know how your elbow feels every day and just doing those little exercises constantly, day by day, I think that just makes that velo spike a little bit because your arms are just so conditioned after doing rehab for such a long period process that you feel really good, so that's kind of how I felt.""
""It's just super exciting to be in this locker room, like just watching Yoshi do everything he does on a day-to-day basis and like how Blake Snell goes about it," he explained. "Everyone just kind of does it their own way and we just feed off each other. A lot of these young guys are definitely, including myself, we still see what these guys do, but it's just exciting just watching the day-by-day routine. That's one big thing for me.""
Kyle Hurt is a Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher in spring training positioned as a potential breakout reliever. He has four major-league appearances totaling 8.2 innings with a 1.04 ERA, a 1.038 WHIP, and six strikeouts. Hurt underwent Tommy John surgery in 2024 and made rehab appearances for Triple-A Oklahoma City in 2025 while preparing for a return to the majors. He expects to serve as a reliever and is willing to take on whatever role the team needs. Rehab included extensive arm-strengthening exercises that improved elbow awareness and conditioning and may have increased velocity. Hurt is observing and learning from veteran routines in the Dodgers' locker room.
