I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I do think the tommy john twist can lead to arm troubles, and the inverted W isn't great either. O'Leary is not the only preacher of this, the pitching ranch is a big believer in this from an arm action stand point as well as several others.

Jeez, you had to mention the name...

Anyway - yes these things can be a factor. The problem you run into is internet gurus who want to point at any particular part of the delivery and think they have come up with the holy grail of injury prevention.

There are so many working parts involved that taking any one of them in isolation is never going to tell you the complete story.
