    Something that caught my eye - surgery on 3/3 and told he could start throwing by July. My son is a lefty pitcher who had Tommy John. He had his surgery at the start of March as well. I don't remember when he started the throwing program, but he wasn't anywhere near full speed throws until end of December or start of January. Even then, it was a tight pitch count with very few full speed pitches. It took him the entire spring season (the year after his surgery) to get full rhythm and timing back. No way TB could have been reasonably throwing in July and doing so probably caused more damage or set backs.
