@baseballhs posted:Today I watched my son pitch for the first time in 18 months. The kid has dealt with more injury and adversity than he deserves. He has worked his ass off and is still dealing with it, but today he was great. He knew it, the coaches knew it. I cried. Small victory because he isn’t out of the woods, and I’ve now learned that expectations are futile. Today was a good day and I’m thankful that I got to see him pitch again. I’ll hope that there are more days like this, But I’ll also try to stay in the present and be thankful. Oh, and he is graduating in December…3 1/2 years. Very proud of him.
Similar story here as our son was out for 14 months with two different shoulder issues (none of the bad stuff thankfully). He threw a scoreless inning this weekend against BYU. First time I've seen him pitch live since May of 2022 and the first time he's pitched to outside competition since then. I held my breath but he did well and similarly, you could see the confidence back. We went from hoping he makes the team to it looking like he will be a key arm.
