How much did Brownlie hurt his arm through his contract holdout?

[UK1679666180]

He hurt his arm before the holdout during his Junior year at Rutgers, early season game, cold weather in the NE, overworked his arm when it wasn't ready for that. Strained his bicep or something of that nature, FB went from a great pitch to an avg. pitch. That drop in fastball velocity is like watching the stuff of Ben Sheets drop to a RH'ed version of Shawn Estes (Brownlie has better control than Estes, fwiw).

How much did Brownlie hurt his arm through his contract holdout?

 

Boras and Brownlie did their best to play down the injury, but ifrom from reports of his last starts and a conversation I had with a scout who saw him that his velocity had lost a lot and a more serious injury was a real concern.
