Smoltz impresses in rehab performance
Veteran throws off mound for first time since June shoulder surgery
By Mark Bowman / MLB.com
While Glavine just started playing catch earlier this week, Smoltz has been
throwing for a little more than a month, and on Friday afternoon, he threw
off a mound under the watchful eyes of Braves manager Bobby Cox and pitching
coach Roger McDowell.
"John Smoltz was just outstanding today," Cox said. "He threw fastballs,
breaking balls, [split-finger fastballs] and changeups. If I was rating him
on a scale of 1-10, I'd say he was a 6.5. He was really good."
Blaine Boyer, who has been working out with Smoltz throughout the offseason,
was equally impressed with the performance Smoltz provided while throwing off
a mound for the first time since undergoing major shoulder surgery in June.
Providing more encouragement for Glavine was the fact that he didn't feel
any discomfort while completing three sets of 25 throws from a distance of
45 feet earlier this week.
"I don't want to go through what I did last year," Glavine said. "But at
the same time, you don't want to end your career with a season like that."
