Josiah Gray Returns After Tommy John Surgery

Josiah Gray made his long-awaited return to action after missing most of the last two seasons due to Tommy John Surgery. He pitched 1.2 innings, striking out 3 batters on 38 pitches (25 strikes). Gray leaned heavily on his breaking balls, throwing only 9 fastballs, averaging 92.5 mph and topping out at 94 mph. His secondary pitches were sharp, with his curveball being a weapon against lefties and his slider used heavily against righties. While different models offered mixed reviews on his stuff, the key takeaway is Gray's health and solid performance in his return, positioning him for a rotation spot.
