Alvarez [has] pitched through what is said to be a "90 percent tear" in his UCL for years. So if some doubt it's possible as Masahiro Tanaka tries it, Alvarez is one of those rare pitchers who's been able to do it effectively for years
Umm... did we know about this?poop

Alvarez - 90% Tear UCL
CBS Sports' Jon Heyman reports that Henderson Alvarez has been pitching through a "90 percent tear" of his right ulnar collateral ligament "for years."
This is the first we've heard about a UCL issue for Alvarez, although he had a brief elbow problem last season and there were whispers when he went on the disabled list last month that he had an elbow injury in addition to a shoulder ailment. There have been some that have pitched through ligament damage in the past, although it's hard to imagine anyone pitching with as much of a tear that Alvarez apparently has. It certainly makes him a medical red flag moving forward.
But I mean he's been doing it for years so it'll be ok. fuck.

maybe this is why he doesn't whiff anyone and he'll inevitably come back and go all Danny Salazar on people. For not the Marlins of course.
