The Milwaukee Brewers didn’t expect Jimmy Nelson to start throwing until Spring Training. However, Nelson has done everything he can to accelerate the process.
Nelson has always been lauded for his work ethic. He has attacked his rehab with the same vigor as he goes after a hitter in a 3-2 count. Nelson reportedly purchased a hyperbaric chamber to aid in his recovery this off season. That purchase is already paying dividends for him and for the Brew Crew.
With Nelson healthy, the Brewers were a team on the cusp of postseason play last year.
