DJ Hertz was placed in IL for 15 days Left UCL sprain. This is an ominous sign for Southpaws, where Velocity is all in Spring. Hopefully he can bounce back from now on, but UCL strains often portend a horrifying Tommy John surgery.
DJ Herz was a popular breakout pick heading into the spring. When interviewing Andrew Golden of the Washington Post and the locked Ryan Clarry of the Nationals, he said they were both click-pics. He was the name I also saw due to his deception and nasty things.
But he never looked right this spring. His control, Hertz, the previous problems, had been everywhere, when he had done a decent job of mitigating. He walked nine batters in the spring 9/2 innings. But that wasn’t the most surprising thing in the world, as control is a long-term problem for Hertz. These struggles left him losing the race for the fifth starter spot to Michelle Parker.
What was surprising was how hitable he was. He allowed 10 hits this spring. The MLB batsman hit .224 against him last year, but in his minor league career he kept his batters at a .178 batting average.
As his speed and things were slowing, it was clear to Hertz that something was wrong. it is”Dead arm“It’s early spring, and now there’s a more specific answer. Hertz avoids going under the knife and can come back as quickly as possible.
