“I hurt my arm in high school pitching. So I spent the first month of summer not really throwing the ball, trying all left-handed. Threw for around 30 yards. Then I hurt my left shoulder and then I haven’t been able to throw with my left hand for 15 yards. Overall left hand, I can’t,” the star QB added.
