June 29, 201016 yr Against the Twins, he throws a pitch and then begins writhing in pain, grabbing his right arm. You could visibly see his hand shaking. What's up with this guy? He's always getting injured it seems.
June 29, 201016 yr Hard throwers have a greater chance of getting injured, specially when you hit 100 mph everytime.
June 29, 201016 yr Hard throwers have a greater chance of getting injured, specially when you hit 100 mph everytime. Not necessarily... he's probably just not strong enough to throw the speed he throws thus he's overdoing it. Too much effort? Actually can be a bad thing.
June 29, 201016 yr Author When I saw Zumaya go down, I thought of Dave Dravecky Hopefully not that serious. It really is upsetting considering how good his stuff can be.
June 29, 201016 yr Hard throwers have a greater chance of getting injured, specially when you hit 100 mph everytime. Do they also have a greater chanceof getting injured playing Guitar Hero and moving boxes? :mis2
June 29, 201016 yr Fractured elbow according to ESPN news. Wow I can't imagine the pain that shot through his arm on that pitch.
June 29, 201016 yr Joel Zumaya is reported to be out for the season with a fractured elbow... That sucks. The guy has light out closer potential but injuries have just killed him. He could still bounce back as he is only 25 but he needs to cool it down with the fastball like A.J. Burnett did and add more finese pitches like a changeup, possibly slider, curveball or splitter. Hope he can recover to 100% and become that lightsout closer he could be.
June 29, 201016 yr Author add more finese pitches like a changeup, possibly slider, curveball or splitter. Yeah, being how injury prone he is at the moment, I would say splitter...not the best idea.
June 29, 201016 yr I feel for the guy, anybody who can throw that hard is just a beast, shame he can't stay healthy.
June 30, 201016 yr I feel for the guy, anybody who can throw that hard is just a beast, shame he can't stay healthy. Well, that's not necessarily true, but Zumaya certainly fits the definition. Sucks that he got injured; like Benched said, it reminded me of Tony Saunders.
