A few days back Left Fielder for the Chicago Cubs Kyle Schwarber collided with Center Fielder Dextor Fowler which resulted in a season end injury.
The injury was to his knee and it is a torn ACL and LCL which if anyone has had a strained or torn ACL would know how painful it is and the time to recover from it, and I have torn my twice and strained once before the two tears.
The recovery time for me was six months to a year for the two tears with rehab, and I still walk with a slight limp.
Now what happened to Kyle Schwarber was a ACL and LCL which mean any chance of him catching for the Chicago Cubs will not happen, and his outfield playing days might be over.
This young man was consider to be a prized prospect for hitting and with the type of injury he sustained will most likely limit his power ability.
His defense ability was average to below average and now is most likely not even going to be consider.
If Kyle Schwarber make it back to Major League Baseball he will have to be regulated to First Base or DH which mean the Cubs will have to move him because there is no way he will ever be able to catch or run the outfield again.
I hope the kid makes it back because his power potential was Ruth like, and he was part of the 2015 Cubs run, but the chances of him ever being the same is unlikely.
Thanks for reading and God Cubs!
