If you cannot read the article, pleas let me know.
The article is about Jesse Foppert, who will be returning after Tj surgery and his short climb to the top.
Jesse also did not start pitching until his junior summer in college, walk on first baseman.
A little bit of the article from Baseball America I thought was interesting.
"If there was any season Foppert can question his workload, it was 2001 when he threw 120 innings for USF, then 70 more at Salem-Keizer.
"I'd never thrown more than two or three innings in a whole season, so that could have contributed to it," he says. "Maybe it started to tear that year. It's impossible to tell. Maybe my ligament wasn't as mature as some other guys, and my mechanics probably contributed to it. I was throwing a foot across my body."
Actually, it was 17 inches.
"We measured," Giants trainer Stan Conte says. "If you want to make a case that (the elbow injury) happened because he hadn't pitched for a long time, it would go back to his mechanics. The fact he was more inconsistent with his delivery would definitely put more stress on his elbow."
