I'm sorry I did not notice this post earlier. My son, who is just finishing his junior year, had this same injury. His injury occured in August 2007. He was able to throw off flat ground fairly quickly, but had difficulty pitching, or more specifically throwing from a mound, until this spring 2009. He went through a year as a position player only. I had talked to someone else on this site who's son went through a simular recovery time. What I'm saying is don't be surprised if he has a 12-18 month recovery time before he can pitch again without pain. The good news is my son has recovered. Please make sure he continues to do the PT and core work afterwards. This is very important. Good luck!
