My son had TJ surgery in July 2013 following his Senior year of HS. He had previously signed a D1 JUCO scholarship so he injury redshirted last year. Started pitching again last spring and had shoulder stiffness. Doc said that shoulder couldn’t keep up with stronger elbow. Anyway after shoulder subsided he threw a few innings in local college summer league but velocity was 80-82. Pitched fall ball at the JUCO and that is where he his velocity was sitting. He threw harder than that when he was 15. Prior to the elbow injury and surgery he was always high 80's pitcher topping 90 at PG National Showcase. My worries are that he is going to get minimal innings this spring and then will be done at his JUCO. He'll have 3 years of eligibility left and nobody will want him...My question is will his velocity ever come back? Has anyone known or seen a TJ recovery take so long for the velocity to recover?
