It was enjoyable to watch Strasburg and deGrom when they dominated, but, alas, their time is most probably past.

I'm not sure if the motion is itself unnatural or that many pitchers don't have good mechanics or aren't doing the proper training. Nolan Ryan looked awfully natural to me, how often was he hurt?
