Jackson Jobe’s Tommy John Comeback | MLB News

Jackson Jobe, 24, makes a stunning return in his first start since Tommy John surgery, dominating the Giants over five innings without allowing a run while throwing 97-99 mph fastballs and touching 101.1 mph.

The Tigers’ roster moves opened the door for his debut, highlighting how far this groundbreaking surgery has come. Meanwhile, the original Tommy John, now 83 and in hospice, reflects on how the procedure gave him 14 more seasons—and thanks Dr. Frank Jobe for saving his career. Jackson, though not related by blood, now stands as part of that enduring legacy, proving the surgery’s lasting impact on baseball.
