PEORIA, Ariz. — The entire process felt a little too short for Tony Zych. He was finally able to step on a pitcher’s mound for the first time since October and approximately 20 throws later he was done.
“It was really good,” he said. “Everything felt great. It only took a few throws to get comfortable. Obviously, I wasn’t trying to do too much, just hit the glove and feel good about it.”
As part of his recovery from offseason shoulder surgery, Zych has been on a throwing program in recent weeks that features up to 120 throws per day.
