Dillon Gee has throwing improved after blood clot eliminated from shoulder - MLB Update
Right-handed starting pitcher for the New York Mets, Dillon Gee, feels much more comfortable now throwing pitches.
The surgery that he underwent has rendered his shoulders in a far better position to revolve at maximum speed while hurling pitches.
He is one of those pitchers that saw their expedition halted after getting injured during the last season.
Gee and Michael Pelfrey were two members of the Mets’ rotation that could not play through the season, owing to injuries.
Their absence forced the Mets to call up inexperienced arms from the Minor League. Indeed, performance of the team was badly affected by their departure.
Interestingly, for Matt Harvey, they turned out to be the driving force behind his early promotion to the Major League.
The officials of the club had no choice but to thrust the challenge in the hands of their best Minor League talent.
Harvey stood out right in his first game, striking out a great number of batters.
Though he could not continue with a similar fashion from there onward, he was successful in making a point that he has a bright future ahead.
Gee’s fast return to complete recovery from the injury is a great sign for the Mets going into the 2013 season, especially considering that R.A. Dickey is no longer available on the roster.
Gee appears immensely optimistic about his rehabilitation and becoming regular member of the team again.
“One of the things with my surgery we were hoping for was, by recouping some of the blood flow I had lost, that my recovery would be better and that seems to be the case so far,” said Gee. “I’m excited. The doctor said he was surprised I could recover every
five days as it was, with the lack of blood and oxygen, so hopefully that will make it that much easier to bounce back after every start. You never know what the future holds, but we have a lot of positive signs going.”
Gee will look to continue giving his arms some exercise and making sure he gets the rhythm back at the earliest.
