I’m going against the grain here, his arm is used to that submarine torque and he does not lift weights so the Mets made the right decision and his arm will last another 5 years or so, I base my answer on Pedro Martinez’s ideas on weight lifting with the pitching arm.
Oh my gosh. No matter how genetically gifted an individual may be, the human arm has only so many throws like that that it can make before catastrophic failure occurs. The kinematics are absolutely mind-blowing to see in slow motion.

not an athlete according to some people
The arm movement when watch pitchers makes me cringe it looks painful the way pitchers arms contort
Wow !😊
He’ll quit sooner than most pitchers
His and my interpretations or vision of beauty is quite opposite. I don't think of a wounded duck is a thing of beauty. But I guess that's just me.
Tyler Rodgers is a cheat code on mlb
He will last 1 more year 2 max probably with arm moving like that
Elongated man
I wish him well.
we wear the same number!
How does one begin to pitch like this in the first place and why?
With all that tendon and ligament strain it boggles the mind that he can still move that arm let alone pitch in MLB !
Tommy John has entered the chat
I'm not a doctor but that looks like a surgery in the making!
My arm hurts watching that
Damn I don't think his arm will last that's a ton of torque
That doesn't look healthy. 😅
Looks painful
In the wrong uni…
my elbow hurts just watching this
Marge Simpson uppercut
Serious problems later in life
His arm looks like everything on the inside snapped😮
I mean, essentially this is an underarm throw, how is it considered a legal pitch in baseball? Genuinely curious.
I see some tommy john in his future
They use to call him KD knuckle dragger and it stuck for yesrs. I just made that up.
Side arm throws are lame
Tommy John !
I thought the major league had a rule against throwing underhand which technically is throwing below your knee level
Beast Titan
I agree Kent reborn !!!
It's a style side arm middle reliver
Wow that's a lot of violence on that arm 💪😮
That my friends is called Tommy John……in slow motion!
Get ready for Tommy John
The Mets got a good one, I wish San Francisco still had him, free agent after this season, maybe the Giants can get him back 😃
Is he pitching or bowling?

That’s gotta be the strangest pitching I’ve ever seen him in life so amazing. He doesn’t throw out his elbow.
We miss him in the Bay he pitched well for our Giants
Tommy (John) will be calling you in the future.

Those guys never seem to have very long careers
It's so weird seeing Tyler in a Mets uniform
I wonder how many surgeon's in the US are currently training to learn the Tommy John procedure?
Good candidate for Tommy John surgery .
This is not what the founding fathers had in mind
Look at his arm and wrinkles😂😂
Thing of beauty? His butt is alright, but I wouldn't call it a thing of beauty. 😅
That's.. unsustainable
