Thank you to Dr. Meister and his team for giving my elbow a second chance at life. Woke up from anesthesia thinking I was about to throw 100 mph... turns out I was just asking for snacks.”"

His 20.5% strikeout rate and 9% walk rate in that span weren't especially strong but he induced grounders on 50.9% of balls in play."
