What Makes Yu Darvish SO Good?! | Breaking Point Ep 14 w/ Trevor Bauer

[@chaddavis523]

Its crazy that there is more blur in the score box than in the movement of the ball and pitcher on the overlay

[@martinbrickland9216]

Really wish more MLB players could put this kind of content out, 10 years removed from the game and this is the shit i absolutely love to see. Incredible mind you have Mr Bauer 👌

[@mattkerrigan]

So cool to see pitchers deep dive into other pitchers’ mechanics. I’m a little biased as a Cubs fan, Yu was one of my favorite players last years so this was a really fun video for me. Love getting to see just how good he really is beyond what I even realize. Also love this series, great stuff trev

[@fleamarketfloppydisk]

I love that he has like 10 different pitches

[@lukebeignet]

Isn't it crazy how these 2 are now gonna be top 2 for NL Cy Young voting?

[@steven129er]

On first glance the pitches don't seem too difficult. After analysis, those pitches were really good!

[@CadChamberlain]

Darvish throws 11 pitches... ELEVEN! And what is somehow crazier than that, he has multiple variations of the same pitch like a cutter that moves 6 inches horizontally and a cutter that moves 8 but at a steeper angle.

[@Markus-Domanski]

This is one of the most if not the most instructive video on baseball on KZbin.

[@matbettez3495]

Think how the narrative surrounding Yu the past couple years would have changed if the Astros weren't the scum they were in 2017...

[@c7lee]

Was looking for this comment! Kershaw comes to mind as well.

[@nandy9285]

Yeah tunneling doesn't mean as much when you know what pitch it is.

[@Deeplycloseted435]

Before they got busted, somebody (I don’t remember who) claimed on twitter that Darvish was tipping his pitches that game.

[@Yellowfver783]

Indeed. Yu would’ve had the game and been a hero instead of being trashed by Dodgers fans for the last few years

[@kelliesugai-dahl1294]

Scum bags for sure. Months later, the Astros still make me ill.

[@JammastaJ23]

Trevor Bauer and Jomboy are doing more to promote baseball than anyone working in the marketing department of MLB or any franchises

[@eduardopaz7661]

Jomboy got me into baseball I’m not even gonna lie. Now it’s up there with soccer as my favorite sports

This is the first time I see an active MLB pitcher post a video like this. VERY MUCH impressed. 120% enjoyed. Thank you very much for the video and channel. Please stay healthy and keep up the great work

As a Padres Fan, I have massive respect for you Mr Bauer. Ty for what you do!!!

I got to see your great breakdown of Yu Darvish's pitching because of SportStorm. It's cool to see how you break down the mechanics of other pitchers and I can see now how hard you do your preparation. I wish I can see more of this. I'll be scrounging for more content on your channel. I'll be following your games as well.

[@youngmin47]

Love such thorough analysis from an actual active MLB pitcher. Thanks for doing this Trevor!

[@judgekornell6277]

Excellent point of view on yu darvish's game. You both are killing it this year. Good luck on your seasons.

[@fantasistanate17]

It's pretty cool that both Trevor Bauer and Yu Darvish are in contention for the NL Cy Young Award this year. They both have similar pitching philosophy, and must be working very well for them.

[@MastaPiff414]

Really good vid Bauer! I respect for talking crazy, then backing it up on the mound n making look easy! Didn't know Yu were a You fan! (Pun!?) As a Cub fan, I really appreciate the Darvish overlays n breakdown, this is helpful for understanding what makes all his pitches so deceptive! You're turning me into a Bauer fan too...and I resisted soo long! Keep up the awesome pitching n vids, take it easy when you face the Cubs and I'll watch more! 🧐🤔😎😄

[@KKKKKK-kr9oc]

It's a great video. Thank you for telling me how great his pitch was. It was easy to understand and I learned.

[@OriolesPhillies]

Yu Darvish is easily one of my favorite pitchers (of course I'm biased because I'm originally from Japan and he played on an NPB team in my hometown) :)

[@SFTaYZa]

Just slightly biased then.

Came from Ichiro's video. I think Japanese fans would love to see this if it had subtitles like the Ichiro video! I think Darvish is recovering his reputation from his last 15 awesome start-ups, but didn't know he was this precise. Nasty!

[@fightersfan5363]

I’m an Angels fan but I feel bad for Darvish as he and his team were cheated out of the 2017 World Series.

[@jonathanbullman7058]

Yu Darvish has some nasty stuff this year. He is the Cubs number one this year in my opinion. Have you seen his Supreme yet? It's like a 2 seamer change up with more action. Nasty to righties and lefties

[@hydrastan4344]

It’s so wack he’s like a mad scientist. I tried to throw it and it’s nasty

[@JamieBakerM]

Yu just added a new split-two seam hybrid that has an aggressive downward and in to righty motion. If he can properly tunnel that off the other 10 pitches he has, you have no real chance at the plate.

[@nickwagner6545]

I see so many of Trevor's pitch mechanics in Yu Darvish (or vice versa since Trevor modeled his game after Darvish's)

[@ephrimko5239]

I would love to see you break down the time Devers took you deep twice. I still cant get over it, it looked like you had him beat on both swings

[@GalenPhotography]

Jedi master Yu. that is nuts!!! freeze frame at 12:17, i can't believe it. Trevor your stance is quite in focus too though considering 4 different at bats overlaid?

[@gimpleg9913]

Great video. Mad respect to an opposing pitcher. I think it would be neat to see you break down a historical at bat or two. Maybe a 10 pitch Maddux at bat to show why he was as good as he is. I had never considered you breaking down other pitchers before.

[@onnne]

日本語訳版から来たんだけども、此処まで分析出来るのって本当にすごいと思うな バウアー投手、応援してます

You need to do a breakdown on your swing impersonations!!! Great video.

とても興味深かったです。よかったらいつかダルビッシュと対談して下さい。

[@suavemelon9683]

It's kinda funny how 2 months earlier he was already analysing his soon to be cy young rival

[@swingstar1980]

This is the cerebral side of the game that is missing from coaches teaching the younger levels. Even at the high school level players think baseball is boring, it's because they don't get a chance to analyze things like this and they're not taught to. Keep it up!

[@agtrherhger484]

[@blakkat4126]

I’d like to see you beak down Tom Seaver if you get the chance. It’d be interesting to see how a current-day pitcher analysis this pitcher from the 60s, 70s and 80s. Thank you.

[@samn130]

Can you do a video on how Sean Doolittle is able to be effective with throwing a 92-94 mph fastball 95% of the time? Great video as always!

[@pohorex6834]

It's the rise run axis, his fastball has a lot of rpms, which keeps it in the air. He talked before with Clev about "your pitches just need to be different than the average" and Doolittle's ball seems to "rise" (maintain height) longer than most fastballs, which travel downwards much more through the zone. So most batters swing below the ball, and seeing a ball "rise" can give quite a startle

[@krustykrab34]

@@pohorex6834 this answer is correct for someone like Verlander, but Doolittle doesn't even average 2300 rpms - his fastball spin rate is actually about league average. However, Doolittle excels in spin efficiency, with true 12-6 spin, which makes it act like it has more rpms.

[@YungNoDussy]

Great content as always trevor cant wait to see you in divisional games in the shortened season!

[@阿武隈武雄]

Why was this pitcher beaten up in the World Series? The mystery is still in deep darkness.

[@John_Linn]

Sounds like why A. J. Preller traded for Yu. I think you (Trevor) should come out for a 2-year with the Pads...win a championship, live on the coast, beat LA, and become legendary:)

[@BigChuck525]

It would be interesting seeing a pitch overlay for Kyle Hendricks. I believe he is even better at tunneling pitches. Of course with 10mph less on his fastball he has to be.

[@patrickdabs]

When Trevor says you are nasty, you are nasty.

[@SS-fe7ep]

ありがとう

[@carlnilssonyoung8961]

Many fans dun understand what makes a pitcher success, it is not 100 miles fast ball, It is the Identical release points, n very late break, that is very hard to achieve.

[@ephrimko5239]

Could you to a tips with trev video like your lower/upper half mechanics ones, but about curveball/slider mechanics

[@drakenorton690]

I know I'm not a professional pitcher but I am a college pitcher and what I've always been taught is that your mechanics should be the same for every pitch. Only difference would be grip and wrist angle. There are plenty of things mentally that could help when you're throwing offspeed but it varies person to person. I hope this helps a bit!

[@herotheplottmix6690]

Love this video to show how good MLB hitters are smart and good. It's .7 seconds to do all that "science".

[@mr.4ambuilds913]

Trevor, do you love Yu more than Sonny Gray? Great videos man!!

[@TCK8287]

4sf, 2sf , splim(splitter 2sf it goes 90 plus like a sinker), spitter, changeup, circle change, he once had fork,ball, hard cutter, medium cutter, soft cutter, hard slider, soft slider, slurve, slitter(slider that goes down like sff), (in Japan he threw a screwball i think).. curveball, slow curveball, knucke curve(from you kow who) i dont think that he throw all of them in the Majors but its all in his huge pitch arsenal.

[@cubpernicus]

Is that counting The Supreme pitch he recently created? Darvish is an absolute beast. All-time K/9 leader too. Hat tip to BauerOutage for this vid. First video I've seen that really does Yu justice

[@BobcatIndee]

I haven't reviewed many of your ABs, so I can't compare this setup to your true "normal"; however, it looks like you're a little to far from the plate. Also, not that it means anything, but I hit a HR with "you" in MLB the Show 20 against the Nats in the fictional 2020 NLCS... 2nd highest game difficulty setting (HOF)... Those 2020 Reds beat the Twins for the WS Title... Just sayin'...

[@yvngtay4970]

Honestly trev jus needs to attack early Bc even though yes it’s hard to hit a pitch 5 mph slower then the fastball but if he can keep his weight back and explode on that down the middle cutter then he would be a much better hitter Bc he wouldn’t have to face that nasty slider 0-2

I watched him in Texas, he isnt a "cartoon" when he's healthy. In fact, he reached 1000 strikeouts faster than anybody else in MLB history. This idea that he sucks is from bandwagon jumping Dodger fans who only watched him in the world series
