shp,
That is great news for you. Do everything you can to find a therapist who knows baseball, throwing and labrum issues and can guide your PT.
Just so you know, you are not alone, and need to focus on what lies ahead.
Here is the link to a story about our son's roommate from the Lansing Lugnuts Milb team in 2005.
Casey is a terrific guy and a great talent.
He didn't even pitch until his senior year in college.
Ended up being a 4th round pick and moved very quickly to Toronto in 2006. He had a very good year last year.
As you can tell, labrum injuries affect players at all levels. Casey was doing a bullpen with no prior history and he takes great care of himself.
