Tommy John first outing

Baseballin100+ posts

My son had Tommy John surgery 15 months ago and had his first outing this last weekend. There were a lot of nerves And a lot of excitement. He struck the first person out but then kind of fell apart after that walking 2 and 2 hits. It was tough to watch but he persevered. After the game he was very upset with his performance and said he wasn’t sure if he could do it anymore. My question to the group is do you have any stories about Tommy John comebacks and their first outings? (Good or bad) To share with him to show him that it’s gonna take a while for him to be the player he wants to be.
