I don't like his very pronounced "M". Look at how high his Pitching Arm Side (aka PAS) elbow gets relative to the level of his shoulders.

It's not as bad as Mark Prior's, but at a minimum the PAS elbow of Nolan Ryan (and Greg Maddux and Randy Johnson) never gets this high.

I believe that guys who make the "M" (aka the Inverted W) are at an increased risk of experiencing shoulder problems due to internal impingement.

I believe that making the "M" may also set them up for elbow problems.

Adam Wainwright of my Cardinals is currently having at least elbow problems. I think he's also having shoulder problems given his velocity drop. If you look at clips of him, you will see the "M".
