He will be able to throw in no time and will have plenty of time to work on his mechanics.
His leg will not be immobilized in a cast so he will not even lose a lot of strength. He won't be able to play basketball or go skiing, but he will be able to do plenty of controlled physical therapy to retain his muscle mass.
Not saying the injury will not effect his offseason, but he will still be able to get in a lot of work.
Not This.
If you have had the surgery you would know that your leg atrophies at an amazing rate. I haven't seen any details of the surgery but I would assume that he had some type of miniscus repair along with the ACL and MCL surgery. If so, his knee will be immobilized (in a brace) until the miniscus heals.
After that his recovery will be based on how fast his strength returns in his leg. The ACL, MCL and Miniscus will be healed but they won't let him back on the field until he gets all of the strength back in his leg to protect it from being reinjured. He will be able to throw but not with the correct mechanics until the leg fully heals and has most or all of the strength back.
