Matt Harvey has to be the unluckiest pitcher in the world, right?

Wrong.

Matt Harvey simply has, and has had since college, problematic pitching mechanics.

That's why he can't stay healthy.

And why his injury problems were so easy to predict.

Matt Harvey Pitching Mechanics

2019 March 16

Nothing's changed for Matt Harvey pitching mechanics-wise so, sadly, I don't see anything changing for him injury-wise.

Just a matter of time before he breaks again.

See how Matt Harvey's glove side is opening while he's still Pointing the Ball at Second Base and his arm isn't all the way UP yet?https://t.co/FsIZXM3FK3

That's bad.

He will get hurt again, again, again...https://t.co/FMK4qnWaRt https://t.co/Ge8PZnvMsi

Clip of Matt Harvey yesterday from which the still I posted was taken.

The problem is Matt Harvey's pitching arm is FLAT and not up when his shoulders start to turn.

That means he WILL get hurt again.

And again.https://t.co/hViwvC2TqB pic.twitter.com/adLqz7xkpG

Zack Wheeler need not worry about starting.

Here's the position of Matt Harvey's pitching arm when his shoulders start to turn.

Matt Harvey WILL get hurt.

Again.

And, perhaps, for the last time.

Which is tragic.https://t.co/hViwvC2TqB pic.twitter.com/9J318J05AI
