Jack posted on Twitter he had internal brace repair surgery a couple weeks ago. I don’t know if that’s a full year recovery but still significant I think.

From Google’s AI…
Ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) repair with an internal brace typically leads to a shorter recovery time compared to traditional Tommy John surgery (UCL reconstruction). The internal brace provides immediate stability and may reduce the need for a donor tendon, resulting in a faster healing process. Athletes can often return to throwing sports within 6-9 months, compared to the 9-12 months or longer often required for traditional reconstruction.

I believe Sean Doolittle was one of the first highwr profile cases of getting the internal brace done.

I just looked up Gerrit Cole, and he had the internal bracing but also the full reconstruction and this article suggests it’s the regular recovery time. Clear as mud

Reporters are pretty bad about differentiating between internal brace procedure and full tommy john. Internal brace is about a year for pitchers and like 8 months for position players.

Enjoy, even without the Hoos there it is a great time for a baseball fan. Be sure to hit Barry O’s and report back if the V Sabre’s are still being displayed (or if they have become all about MSU now).
Sam Harris and Noah Murray both have UVa baseball on the Instagram bios

Thanks. It came up in chatting with others here too. I’m definitely worried it’s going to have Bulldog or Cowbell themed drinks.
For what it’s worth, several comments from other ACC fans and some LSU guys about “wow you guys are going to have all the Duke players”.

I’ve still been updating the 2nd post in this thread with our roster outlook for next year, and just added Duke players either in the portal or decommitted from their HS class for those interested. Can also just make a new thread if people would prefer that.
