Today’s guest is Dr. Christopher Camp, a board-certified orthopaedic surgeon with a deep focus on sports medicine and shoulder and elbow surgery. Since 2019, Dr. Camp has served as the Medical Director, Team Physician, and Director of High Performance for the Minnesota Twins, where he works closely with players, athletic trainers, and front office staff to keep athletes healthy and performing at their best.
Beyond the field, Dr. Camp is a leading researcher in the biomechanics of throwing, injury prevention, and surgical innovation. His work is shaping how we understand and treat injuries in overhead athletes—not just in baseball, but across all sports.
He also leads the Human Optimization Project at the Mayo Clinic, an initiative focused on maximizing health, performance, and recovery. Listen along as we dive into his unique perspective on athlete care, research, and the evolving relationship between medicine and high performance in professional baseball.
