re: What's going on with Anderson?

quote:

---

Anderson did not pitch his senior year in high school after undergoing Tommy John surgery.

LSU coach Jay Johnson said had it not been for Anderson’s injury, he would more likely than not have bypassed college and gone directly to the Major Leagues. Anderson’s strong pitching, velocity consistently in the mid-90s all game on Monday and his 12-to-6 breaking ball was a testament to that talent.

“I often tell people that had he not got Tommy John surgery and missed his senior year in high school, there’s a high, very high, likelihood he would be a professional baseball player today, and I’m certainly happy to have him here,” Johnson said.
