This is by far one of the hardest things for a young man. I had my TJ surgery at 16yo and unfortunately I wasn’t able to come back from it. I feel for him on the dream getting taken away at such a young age. Amazing to see he’s made a great recovery

[@edwinrowe4450]

I had tj my freshman year summer I was broken devastated. Many people don’t understand the mentality, the grind it takes to be back throwing and trusting yourself.

i can vouch when he says its really tough to see your dream taken away. 99% of kids who played ball at some point goes through this. good to see him get back on track

[@cletus2439]

man, I had two stress fractures in my back freshman year that I played through. Was waking up at 3:30 in the morning to go to therapy with my dad before school. Had to give it up eventually. Now I’m 18 and still haven’t figured out the issues with my back. I can’t even explain how much I miss just going outside and hitting baseballs for hours

[@mindcry777]

wow this kid is so mature

[@BeardedWilliam]

Dont forget. There are people who literally get the TJ surgery done BEFORE an injury in an attempt to strengthen it before it pops. Also, it has been known to increase velo 2 to 3 mph once fully recovered from a NON RUPTURED surgery

[@scottolsen5964]

I believe he will be successful. He's got everything going in his direction. Talent, hard work, great family support and he's not a quiter.

[@Retnuh1974]

I hope he makes it to the big leagues. Great young man there.

im recovering from Tommy John right now and it is 90% mental and 10% physical

[@mrduckrush1939]

Not a baseball player rather soccer but I tore my acl just under a year and a half ago I’m fully recovered but this seems like the equivalent from what I get is acl is more of a physical battle mostly just bc you can’t walk for a little while but it was almost all mental good luck with your recovery bro you got it

[@ThatBaseballGuy13]

Only downside is he’ll probably need TJ surgery at some point. Pitchers can’t handle that much torque and velo for extended lengths of time. Hope this kid is different and has a long successful career **edit already had UCL surgery.. 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@edwardchung7544]

Probably another one in his 20s

I had Tommy John surgery in 2004. I feel his pain. Ended up playing 4 years of college ball.

HEAT

[@printhelloworld1413]

I think kids nowadays appreciate enough the ability to not throw as hard as you can. I remember when Justin Verlander started pitching, he had no problem throwing 98/99. However, he chooses to start with a slower fastball and rev up the speed later in the game. That probably contributed to the longevity of his career.

[@masonestrada8134]

Verlander had Tommy John.

[@billybillington]

@@masonestrada8134 Yes but he had it when he was over 35 yrs old so his strategy worked you could say

[@sheltonclemons9570]

Never had TJ, probably could’ve been close though. Shredded my rotator cuff, small tear in my labrum.. all of this my freshman year of high school.

[@RyanHartley684]

I’m 15 and tore my labrum and I have to get surgery, hopefully it’ll happen to me😮

[@jesusoftheapes]

I believe with the way they can anchor a tendon of such there is very little fear of it ever tearing off again . They drill a hole in the arm bone and send the tendon with an anchor to the bone and baseball stitch it in place so unless the titanium anchor finds a magic breaking point look out. He has a lot to prove to be a real pitcher for years . This happening this early is going to scare the pants off scouts. If he finds his way to the MLB it will be a miracle but that is the case for most people I supposed and a 99 heat at least gives him more chance than your average fella. I have seen guys like this end up in Mexico a bunch and make nice careers out that . I hope he does not break .

[@ivermectin1974]

Usually guys like him and strasburg make it but never considered the greatest. Because they have so many injury problems. Training for just a specific sport breaks your body down.

[@cmagtpose2792]

People wondering why TJS is more in Highschool levels now then the MLB....you have kids that are hearing that VELO is the only way so the kids just throw as hard as they can ever time they pick up a baseball.

[@peternedilsky9851]

Wasn't this a movie?

[@enlightenmententertainers7090]

does your arm still hurt? currently I have a sprained UCL

[@blstein70]

after a arm injury like thwt after surgey its a lot better but I have a permanent bone contusion and i still play through it with a lot of pain.

[@TheVirusOfHumanity]

Welp. I don’t see the TJ epidemic ending anytime soon.

[@gageboykin2866]

no way bro started crying talking about it

[@C-24-Brandan]

18 and needed that surgery already? Glad he can play again, but would def pass on that for reliability reasons etc. Hopefully he heals it properly and takes proper steps to fully recover but still not sure if or what teams will want to take that chance.

[@nuckfavy7521]

Little league coaches overusing their ace pitchers are largely to blame for all the TJ surgeries going on in teenagers nowadays.

[@kauaifishing1365]

Also kids throw too much. Instead of playing different sports they specialize in I sport and the body wasn’t made for that.

Psalm 37:5-7 5 Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him and he will do this: 6 He will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn, your vindication like the noonday sun. 7 Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; do not fret when people succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes.

[@doobeedoo2]

but the question is, was he throwing too hard as a youth or too much? Is he throwing too much or too hard now?

[@cherylhyland1430]

He probably threw 60 in little league at the age of 7

[@ivermectin1974]

Stop letting kids throw breaking pitches at young ages. Not until they are older. He will need another TJ done by the time he’s 23. Which he will shorten his career by many years.

[@edgaresquivel2147]

Everybody now having surgery to throw faster wtf

He already had surgery and continues to throw 99. Smh.

This is getting stupid. The mlb is sacrificing pitchers. Keep the clock but let them use substances for grip. Piss on the heater and let em concentrate on curves and such. But no the mlb only wants heat and hard hits for tv. These kids are ruining their arms well before college. It's sad

[@Cartiluvsyoutube]

Once they manufacture everyone in the bigs to throw 99 then what…hitters get used to it. Throwing hard is not pitching. It would behoove clubs to start the culture of the Glavine and Smtz era back.
