He should be back in a year if it's Tommy John surgery.

True, but it usually takes two years to get back to where you were. The good thing is, many pitchers actually throw harder than before the injury once they’re completely recovered.

Not true! A significant percentage never make it back to preinjury competitive level

According to studies the vast majority make it back and make a full recovery. However if you have to have a second Tommy John surgery the odds of recovering from a second surgery are significantly worse.

Agree. The good news for Ginn IMO is he can medically redshirt this year and has the time to recover. He may be Ethan Small 2.0.
