Yogi, my middle son, who is a high school senior, has dealt with a couple of injuries, but as a baseball player, his aches are of a different sort. We always watch pitch counts and innings, but in 2011 he threw quite a bit as he played high school, Legion, all-star, and travel ball. The result was a sore shoulder in the fall and winter that was corrected by a month of physical therapy. He also had a dislocated hip that plagued him for much of the Summer, but additional therapy got him back on the mound for a few tournaments.

He's got his velocity back, and this past Saturday had pretty impressive outing in Virginia. He faced three batters in his first inning, and retired them all on broken bat ground outs.
