Thanks for the update DH. This this was defintely not overuse by the young mans summer team

I totally agree it's not from playing summer ball. I think the problem starts at Middle School, because they are throwing the same distance as High School players. I've seen some Middle School players throw gas and by the time they hit high school they fizzle out. Some kids are exceptional to this, there are some kids that are already matured at a young age. But it still takes a toll on arm strength. Do you know by any chance what age he started throwing curve balls? I was wondering because I had this same type of injury from throwing junk at a young age. I never had surgery but dealt with the pain. My cousin had the same type of pain from too many sliders, and he had surgery. I've watched the video on his surgery. He never fully recovered and still had a popping in his rotary cuff. I wish Chandler the best and a speedy recovery. Here is a link for some young pitchers to learn to take proper care of your arm.
