Dodgers’ Dustin May ready to meet expectations with surgery further removed
GLENDALE, Ariz. – Expectations were high for Dustin May’s return from Tommy John surgery last season – none more so than his own.May was starting to live up to the expectations created by his explosive pitch mix early in 2021. In five starts, he had a 2.74 ERA, an 0.96 WHIP and struck out 35 of the 93 batters he faced. Then the ulnar collateral ligament in his elbow gave way and he underwent the ligament-replacement procedure.
A year further removed from that surgery now, the hope is May can get back on track to becoming a dominant starter. Advised that control is often the last thing to return following Tommy John surgery and his assessment might be a little harsh, May shook off the sign.May acknowledged that “my stuff was there” and pinned the blame for his inconsistent command on “a couple mechanical cues” that had gotten away from him during his rehab.
“I was really getting stuck on my back side, on my back leg and it was kind of creating a jump forward and my arm was late. Now we kind of cleaned it back up to where I was pre-surgery so it’s more of a flow down the mound instead of a drop-sit-jump.”
