Some people believe that it is bad for a pitcher to lead with their elbow. I think it's just part of throwing hard. As a result, I don't think that leading with the elbow says anything about whether a pitcher will be injured or not.
     Below are photos of a number of successful major league pitchers who lead with the elbow. Some have experienced serious injuries, but most haven't.
