Last thing to come back is life on your pitches, which may or may not quite be there at 10. From starting at 50% curves to getting them to actually bite hard at 100% took me a solid 6 weeks. Changeups come faster, though. Feel just takes time. I'm 10 and a week now and everything is starting to look like it used to, minus about 5% of each pitch, be it location, bite or velocity. And definitely work on your hips, and your body as a whole. You could consider getting a functional movement screen or a similar analysis from your school's training staff. If there is one good thing about surgery it's that you have 9 months to reinvent yourself, time that you will never again get. If you make the most of it, it can put you on a whole new career track. I'm gonna keep updating the blog both with surgery and training info, so hopefully it will continue to be helpful.

I don't know though I geuss just different opinions with the same results hopefully lol.
