After a shoulder injury made it seem like MacArthur alum Josh Jung's baseball career was cursed, his 'relentless' approach has led to a stellar rookie season with the Texas Rangers.
Texas Rangers third baseman Josh Jung flies out during a spring training baseball game on Monday, March 27, 2023 in Arlington, Texas.ARLINGTON – To this day, Josh Jung can’t be sure when the cartilage in his shoulder began to fray.
Rep by rep, swing by swing, day by day, the kid who’d binge-watched mental-training DVDs at age 11 rebuilt his strength and his confidence. If the labrum had broken down little by little, Jung figured he could come back from surgery the same way. In the spring of 2022, it was hard to see it that way. The Rangers had huge hopes for Jung, who they’d selected with their first-round draft pick – No. 8 overall – after his All-American career at Texas Tech.
“Rehab’s an animal,” Jung says. “It’s just a grind. There’s bad days, good days, peaks and valleys. You learn a lot of things about yourself, for sure.” Had he not suffered two serious injuries, he might be well into his second full major-league season now. But had he stayed on the fast track to the Rangers, he also might have been less equipped to handle the struggles that find every newcomer eventually.
