Yesterday, we had pitching mechanics expert Chris O’Leary on our Marlin Maniac Fishcast to discuss the injury to Marlins ace Jose Fernandez. Chris essentially explained why Fernandez is incredibly prone to arm injuries, and why this may not be his last.
“The same thing that got his elbow…got his shoulder,” said O’Leary on Fishcast. “He came back and his mechanics weren’t any better. You could actually argue they were worse.”
Chris pointed this out with a series of pictures showing Fernandez’s delivery. The first picture, displayed below on the left, came prior to his Tommy John surgery repairing his elbow.
