One perfect inning so far.  One K.  12 pitches.  8 strikes.

What’s his velo

[RZNJ]

28 pitches thru 2 scoreless.  94-95 mph in the 2nd.  0 runs.  1 hit.  0 walks. 2 strikeouts.   Throwing all pitches except change it looks like.

Almost couldn’t have been better.  Could not have hoped for a better first rehab outing.  Time to dream on what this rotation could look like with Bradish back.   (Crossing fingers.)

Do they do MRI's along the way during these rehabs to see if the ligament looks any different/better? Or do they just fire in the PRP and hope for the best?

The white papers on PRP said that they did follow-up imaging and in the cases where the players returned to play without surgical treatment, the follow-up MRI showed a repaired UCL, and in some cases the UCL actually grew back stronger/thicker.

I am totally talking out of my ass here, but could giving PRP injections as a prophylactic measure be a possible solution to all these UCL injuries?

It crossed my mind but I'm not a doctor, and I wonder if maybe pitchers don't want to take the risk.

Right, now lets hope his arm bounces back.

Wow, excellent news. This team with Burnes-Grayson-Bradish really could go all the way

In the case of strains, partial tears. I doubt severe tears or complete tears it would help.

I know, I'm talking about as a prophylactic measure. As in, just give every pitcher a PRP injection in the hopes it lowers the risk of a UCL tear.

All you need is a big-3 in the postseason.
