As a fellow Hokie, I must admit I don't remember Brzykcy at all in college, but he has been a bright spot of the farm system in 2022. I have read his fastball sits 94-96 and can touch high 90s at times.

Started 2022 in Wilmington -- 21.2 IP 1.66 ERA 39 SO 10 BB
Promoted to Harrisburg -- 17.1 IP 1.04 ERA 25 SO 8 BB

Definitely someone to keep an eye on, look out for him in a "Bully 2023" Thread near you!

Call him up (to Rochester)

Checks in at #24 on the MiLB prospect list for us. Since getting promoted to Harrisburg in early June: 28.1 IP, 40Ks, 15 BBs, 1.59 ERA / 1.06 ERA

Seems like we're going to see him in DC sooner rather than later.

here's the latest from CBS sports. He's shut down for the season but no word yet on if he'll have TJS:

Double-A Harrisburg placed Brzykcy (forearm) on its full-season injured list April 6.

According to Andrew Golden of The Washington Post, Brzykcy was scheduled to meet with a doctor Wednesday before determining his next steps for treating a right forearm strain, but the Nationals have seemingly already ruled out the possibility of the 23-year-old pitching this season. With that in mind, Brzykcy is presumably in line to undergo a procedure of some sort, though it's not yet known if Tommy John surgery is in the cards. Regardless, the forearm injury is a tough setback for Brzykcy, one of the organization's more promising reliever prospects.

I am starting to wonder if the bracing procedure will start replacing standard TJS.

[Mattionals]

I am starting to wonder if the bracing procedure will start replacing standard TJS.

I bet it depends on how severe a tear there is.
