Awesome to see McCoy back after missing last year with Tommy John surgery. The 6’6 lefty looked good over two innings. Velo was back on his FB and had good feel for his SL and CH

Maryland pitcher Kyle McCoy underwent Tommy John surgery Tuesday to reconstruct a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his left elbow, he told Testudo Times. His expected recovery time is 12 months, meaning he is likely to miss the 2024 season.

McCoy, ranked the 17th-best left-handed pitcher in the class of 2022 by Perfect Game, was an All-Big Ten freshman team selection in 2023 after asserting himself as Maryland’s Sunday starter when healthy. In 15 appearances — 12 of which were starts — he threw 53 1⁄3 innings with an ERA of 5.91, racking up 39 strikeouts. The Ringoes, New Jersey native also recorded a three-inning save in his collegiate debut against South Florida on Feb. 18.

McCoy said that he began experiencing elbow discomfort when he sprained his UCL as a senior in high school and it continued to get worse over time. He added that the discomfort disappeared as a college freshman until a flare-up in Maryland’s series against Purdue in late April.
