Tommy John Surg, Rehab & Return

BK_Razorback1,000+ posts

I thought I would start a new thread on Tommy John Surgery (TJS) & rehab for those interested in discussing the surgery, physical therapy, interval throwing program, timeline & the mental aspects of returning. Also any recruiting, MLB draft or thoughts on commitments & scholarships post TJS.

My 2015 had TJS in May & is headed to an ACC school as a 2-way player. He just returned positionally & will not begin mound work till the 12 month mark & will not see game action as a Pitcher till 14 months.

The one thing I realized is that no one Doctor or Physical Therapist does the surgery or PT the exact same, has the same workouts & throwing program or timeline to returning to normal activity. It seems to be a very varied process.

It's a slow & difficult process for the player, school and the family so any comments or questions are welcomed.
