20dad,
Always glad to hear from others experiences. In our sons case we have slowed the process. When Andrew was released to play second we stopped throwing off the mound. He now just does infeild practice at 75% and warmup throws up to ninty ft and his throwers ten program. After the high school season is over the therapist wants Andrew to start in the middle of the first throwing program. After he completes that he will then again go to the mound part of the throwing program. Andrew is only a junior so there is no rush for us.
When you state that Matt Beech hurt his arm at 11 months in his third start that meant he was probably throwing at 100% off the mound at 10 months and probably was pushing to hard. That seems a bit fast. IT is very important to follow the program to the letter. When it says throws are at 50% it means 50% and not any harder. Our therapist told Andrew that this is where most pitchers hurt their arms by trying to throw harder then they are supposed to. He said that even though you feel strong you are taking the chance of re-injurying your arm. After you complete the rehab you are still supposed to go very slow with a strict pitch count.
If you follow B.J Ryans rehab he is at eleven months going into his twelth month and has already pitched in major league games. I would imagine that he did alot of throwing off the mound before he was given the ok to throw at a 100%.
Again in our sons case the doctor wants him to get some innings this summer but on a very strict pitch count and if all goes well will be ready for fall ball and even then he will have limits. His main goal is to be ready and strong for his senior year.
Again 20dad thanks for your post and lets hope everyone in rehab has success in the future.
