Sons team lost in conference semi's today, ending the season (no at large), and then the trainer grabbed him with his MRI results - Torn labrum and partially torn rotator cuff. Won't play baseball again unless he gets surgery and my son's initial reaction is no surgery. Of course, we will get a second opinion. I asked why no surgery and he said because he saw how my surgeries didn't help. My Labrum surgery actually did help me play tennis again but throwing a baseball does hurt. There is always a risk going in the shoulder, but if a labrum tear is going to stop you from baseball, tennis, golf, bowling etc and you are only 19 years old you pretty much have no choice but to get it right? This might be the end of his college career...... He didn't get much opportunity, but if this is the end he pitched to a 2.45 ERA (yeah only 3.2 innings but it is what it is). I hope he gets the surgery and comes back next year.
