Liam’s journey is far from finished! He is back in Boone, NC finishing his degree and working out. He will graduate from @appstate in December and report back to the Cardinals in January. Here’s to his next 15 months being less chaotic but just as fruitful! #TIGMA

🧠We often forget the mental side of rehab and recovery. Liam shared 3 thoughts that guided him: – Finding peace with the process and staying patient. – Understanding timing through Julieann Massa’s guidance. – Knowing he’d be ready for Game 1!

In his single season with the black & gold he posted a: 2-5 record (2 saves) 5.36 ERA 40.1 IP 50 K 39 Hits 27 BB 5 HBP *Important to note that 8 of his 23 outings were made less than a year after surgery.

Trackman fastball data 1/5/24 ➡️ 5/20/25 87-89 ➡️ 93-96 5.93 rHt ➡️ 6.11 rHt 5.47 ext ➡️ 6.40 ext 1928 spin ➡️2345 spin 20.87 ivb ➡️ 19.32 ivb

The journey from that first capture to his last outing for @appbaseball was significant — especially considering surgery between those dates! Kinatrax data 1/5 ➡️ 5/20 📈Movements became far more consistent 📈GRF improved 12%+ 📈Shoulder plane efficiency rose from 46.4% to 93.0%

His 1st throw day was in Boone, NC on August 12, 2024 (his first day on campus)! Liam picked up rehab & PT with Jacob Deese @PTBreakThrough & Julieann Massa with @appbaseball AT.

After his 5th start at State College he began the process that ultimately led to surgery on 3/8/24 with Dr Timothy Johnson @NationalSportMed . Liam credits @JasonRiley55 for the initial post op recovery. Specifically the aggressive PT, scar tissue work, & S&C programming.

Liam’s 1st Biomech @KinaTraxInc capture was Jan 5, 2024 Focus areas: – Wide standard deviations in movement – Improving lead leg Ground Reaction Force – Cleaning up arm action Later pitched @SCFBaseball posting 1-2 record, 6.46 ERA, 15.1 IP, 18 K, 16 H, 18 BB, 3 HBP
