Tommy John surgery isn’t as scary as it used to be for pitchers, and it wasn’t enough to keep the Blue Jays from drafting Gunnar Hoglund with their first round pick, 19th overall.
I had a few friends message me right after the Jays took Hoglund with their first pick, mostly wondering how big of a deal it is that their newest prospect went under the knife earlier this year.
