Verlander has it all...Push, Pop, Over the top, i.e., good leg extension, hip rotation, and follow through which equals to a low OIP (Overall Injury Probability) of 10%. His OIP is the best percentage to expect from any pitcher on any level. This comes from excellent RHP mechanics that helps him achieve good pitch location, while reducing rotary inertia and increasing hip rotation at the same same.
Leg Extension: Excellent...Zero points deducted
Hip Rotation: Excellent...Zero points deducted
Follow Through: Excellent...Zero points deducted
Balance: Excellent...Zero points deducted
OIP: 10%

Addendum: There's a 10% possibility/probability that a pitcher with perfect mechanics will sustain an injury during the course of a season based on league percentages. It doesn't mean the injury happened while pitching or baseball related, either.
