This is an inspiring story. I hope Steve’s pitching arm problems are over, never again to be a problem.

Do the Mets have the possiblity of the hotest piching staff in the NL in a few years Having a couple of top right hander and couple of lefties. Almost all Home grown that would be great.

Very good news.

Also, assuming you’ll be sharing your interview with Joe Tuschak? I don’t know anything about him, don’t really even recall this signing.

Does that mean we can put his name down with the impressive talent on the mound in the minors??

Great post Pete and even greater to hear!

Matz lives in the town right next to me and is something of a big deal around here, a few of my friends were on his team and also were unfortunate enough to face him in high school games. Glad to hear he’s on the fast track back!

this would be a nice bonus for the team. Seems like a nice kid, and it would have sucked for him too to never get to even try at a career.

so, maybe it just was scar tissue or some such thing? But if he is good (certainly had plenty of time to rest it), maybe by next year can still get back to climbing the ladder.

It’s a testament to just how far Tommy John Surgery has come isn’t it?
It’s no longer the career ender that type of injury used to be!
