Watch: Reds Fan Favorite Tejay Antone Throws First Bullpen in Over a Year

Cincinnati Reds pitcher Tejay Antone threw a bullpen session off a mound for the first time in over a year on Wednesday.

"What the people came to see," Antone wrote on Instagram. "First time off a mound in over a year. Big step in the right direction. Praise God."

Antone underwent his third Tommy John surgery on his right elbow in April of 2024.

"I think I have an opportunity and responsibility to do this not only for myself, but other kids out there dealing with this," Antone told MLB.com's Mark Sheldon last year. "The cool thing about baseball is [that] contracts are guaranteed. There’s kids out there in high school or in college, their careers are over and they don’t have the best medical attention in the world."

Antone has a 2.47 career ERA with the Reds over four seasons and 61 games.

This is great to see. You can see Antone's full post below:
