Thanks @used2lurk and good luck to your son. I know it's an injury that sucks.

A year might be right. Everything I read says 6 weeks post-op immobilized in a sling and then about 5 months of rehab, bringing the total to around 6 months.

But, when I mentioned it to my son, he said that was just to get past post-op and it would be a year until he could really throw again. And, even then, catching would probably be out of the picture.

I'm really surprised that more catchers don't get SLAP Tears considering the amount of throwing they do and then the stress of having to throw a ball 128 feet, from a crouch, in less than 2 seconds. Especially those who have been catching for a long time.
