Exciting news for baseball fans – Ian Anderson is back on the mound! After a hiatus⁤ due to Tommy John Surgery in April 2023, Anderson made‌ his triumphant return to the ​field ⁣on Tuesday.

Anderson, a proud 2016 graduate of Shenendehowa and a third overall pick by the Atlanta Braves in the same year, started his rehab⁤ assignment with the ⁢Florida Complex League Braves⁤ on Tuesday.

He showcased his ‍skills by pitching two flawless innings, striking out four players from ​the FCL Pirates. The 26-year-old right-hander’s fastball⁤ was clocked between 92-95​ mph,⁤ showing no‍ signs of his recent surgery.

Since his MLB debut in 2020, Anderson has maintained ‌a commendable ​22-13 record for the ⁣Braves,⁤ with ‍a 3.97 ERA over 272 1-3 innings. He managed to play only one game in 2023 for the AAA Gwinnett​ Stripers ‍before his surgery.

Interestingly, Ian Anderson’s twin brother, Ben Anderson, also made‌ a comeback from‍ his⁤ Tommy John Surgery in August last⁣ year. Ben, a right-handed pitcher for ⁢the Texas Rangers organization, is currently playing ​for the AA Frisco RoughRiders.

  1. Disagree. His performance was underwhelming and lacked the intensity needed for a successful rehabilitation stint.
