According to Sports Illustrated's Tom Verducci, Noah Syndergaard is among a group of young Major League pitchers that are at an increased risk of suffering an injury this season from what he refers to as "the year after effect."
The theory takes into account Major League pitchers that are 25-years-old or younger and increased their previous high of innings thrown in a season by more than 30 percent.
Verducci points out that each pitchers case is unique and that it is not a definite fact an injury will occur, rather situations like Syndergaard's are worth keeping an eye on after increasing his workload by such a high rate at a young age.
