Pitching Mechanics Breakdown w/ Trevor Bauer

I've been helping a lot of young pitchers with their mechanics in my Discord server recently and thought it would be interesting to post some of these on the channel. Is this something y'all are interested seeing more of or not really? Let me know in the comments!

Love these breakdowns. You can tell you really know the mechanics of pitching and want to help the next generation of pitchers. Would you be able to add some MLB pitchers to really show what proper form looks like?

Trevor.. I really appreciate you. I relate to the outsider oddball thing you have/had going on. I'm sure you inspire a lot of people that dont fit into the sterotypes of most of the people doing the thing they love and wish to do. You are still building your baseball legacy, the high level pitching you are doing for the Diablos and all the vlogs and wide breadth of content and information you put up for everyone. Those things are all adding up to a story that isnt over yet bro. You've got a buzz around u right now I think and I have an intuition that you may see the show again. Thank you for the "swords" and other various attempts to bring some excitement/entertainment and youthful attention to baseball and bring us those "dunked on" moments. Keep spreading the love for baseball. I'm 33 and have only sort of been a baseball fan ( I knew maybe 20 players all time ) even to the point I still wasn't 100% clear on all of the rules lol. You and Eric and the stuff you've brought to KZbin has really enriched my recent deep dive into the baseball rabbit hole. Keep up everything dude. Buena suerte!

Was previously a highschool QB, but always had a love for baseball and consider it my true sport, so I'm hoping to tryout for my college baseball team as a pitcher. This channel has so far helped me tremendously in my understanding of the breakdown of pitching mechanics. Thank you so much!

You missed the first and most important one… Balance at the start of the delivery. Encompasses the weight distribution and level, balanced starting point before you even lift. Everything else great analysis.

How awesome is this video? I teach social studies at an inner city school, so I recognize the power of education and how it’s not always available to everyone… The Reds only Cy Young winner paying it forward! I’m a football coach who inherited an elite youth team because they paid coaches bailed.. Im trying to learn as much as I can about teaching pitching… Our players have to pay $$$ for Top Velocity or go without and here can get training from a Cy Young winner for free! So awesome!

I haven't seen a video out there, but I would be fascinated to see Trevor breakdown Tim Lincecum's delivery. Lincecum's massive hip rotation might make Trevor's head explode, but once he drifts down the mound, I would love to hear what Trevor's opinions are.

[@ghrohrs2020]

It's never easy to come back after a year off, even when you're young. Use it or lose it. Subscribe to get Trevor's best videos about conditioning and power development. I'm sure his advice could help, but get yourself to your peak performance first. No sense in tweaking minutae until your arm and body are sound first.

[@annielinkous9685]

Hope Your Having A Good VacayT😊🎉❤

[@pavanatanaya]

Seems like the later the hip rotation, the less Glute/ max is actually engaged. Medial Glutes are weak relative to Max. Maybe starting with the back foot at a 45' angle will rotate the hips earlier? Once the rear foot is loaded, pivoting the heel puts too much torque on the rear knee. The rear hip will be delayed until the rear leg is unloaded and is just along for the ride, its not driving.

[@pat12123]

[@MikeGreenMusic99]

How do you level your hips out without having your front foot hit the ground? Each video makes it look like if they do their lead foot will hit before it gets out in front.

[@isaiah5494]

Hey Trevor just a question: I'm 14 and haven't played organized baseball in a while, (I played until 3rd grade ish and then stopped) do you think it's too late for me to try and pick it back up? I've been trying to pitch and hit some and I'm reasonably athletic, but am i gonna be too far behind to catch up to guys my age?

[@andrewgabriel4866]

Hey brother, it's never too late to pick it up again. I played my whole childhood and quit mid high school. Didn't pick back up till I was 25 and I'm having a great time playing in amateur adult leagues and tournaments. A couple years of this and I have no intention of stopping. You can play till you are 60 if you want, keep the love of game strong!

[@2paz269]

Trevor is fan of japanese pitchers...what is his opinion on korean pitching level? Do koreans teach good mechanics?

[@vincenttorrez2862]

Hey bro. I play in a mens league with no mound. Are there adjustments you have that could help me out or am I just an embarrassment? Thanks

[@waxknucklebearingjuice5592]

Honestly , some videos for us 40+ weekend warriors would be great. Like , i know I'm never gonna throw 80... how do i be as good as possible throwing in the low to mid 60s..

[@ryanbeashore9150]

Anyone know how to get a video loaded for Trevor to possibly look at and breakdown?

[@familyfunsoflo3702]

Now I’m confused. A very reputable baseball facility is saying that based on research the most important variable to increasing velocity is the duration and amount of force applied through the back leg toward second base and the way to accomplish that is by tilting the pelvis. You’re saying to keep the hips level. What would you say to that facility?

[@familyfunsoflo3702]

Besides showing them your baseball card.
