Johan Oviedo Touches 97 MPH in Latest Live BP Session
Per Sports Illustrated's Dominic Campbell, Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Johan Oviedo (elbow) continues to soundly progress in his recovery from Tommy John surgery, recently touching 97 MPH in a live batting practice session. The 27-year-old hasn't pitched since undergoing the procedure in December of 2023. Oviedo still aims to rejoin the big-league squad after the All-Star break, as he'll need an extended minor-league rehab assignment to build back up his strength. The Cuban native flashed his upside back in 2022, boasting a 3.21 ERA and 1.05 WHIP through 21 appearances (eight starts). However, he declined over a larger sample (32 starts) before his injury (4.31 ERA, 1.37 WHIP).
