Corn Jr has the same injury and it looks like it might be the end of the line for him. He's a catcher playing in his forth year of Indy pro ball, a 2010 HS, 2014 college graduate he turned 25 in Aug. Second to last game of the season he threw one of their fastest runners out early in the game. Several innings later the same runner tried him again. He popped up, threw and the ball hit just behind the mound and dribbled to 2nd base. The trainer came out and looked at him but he stayed in and finished the inning. He was replaced the next inning. Similar diagnosis, looks like a SLAP injury, torn Labrum. He'll be getting an MRI next week but the Dr. is pretty sure he's going to have to go under the knife with a 5 month rehab. He'll never be in shape for spring training. At this point in his life it may be time to move on. He's had a great career, finished strong as an all star, the MVP of the all star game and was named the POY of his team at the end of the year, but it's not how you want to end it. He had planned to teach and coach HS baseball but he coached the JV team at his old HS last year, and after talking to several HS coaches the time to do it right, and dealing with the parents has him rethinking that idea. Because of his good reputation he'll probably be welcomed by most HS and college coaches in the area if he offers his services to work with their catchers and pitchers. He'll always stay attached to the game somehow, it's in his blood.
