Yes. I fully agree with Leo Mazzone, who says the primary issues leading to so many pitcher injuries now are minimal throwing on off-days and in the offseason followed by maxing out effort during games. I don't think mechanics are any worse than they used to be, except that some guys maxing out effort leads to bad mechanics.
