Thanks for the advice , Ive been tackling saber tooth tigers until I found this video , now I know I can throw a spear at them.

[@alexpaxton629]

Right

[@Larryperzentka]

Same

[@Audrey-Stuart]

Nice 👍

[@commiehunter733]

We getting our limit in mammoth this season

[@k54ltyd28]

Step 1: Keep it simple, don't do anything weird or complicated, just be natural Step 2: MOVE YOUR ARM LIKE SPIRAL STAIRCASE

[@jgumina2373]

You should do a drills series in which you give good drills to address things you talk about in this series.

[@ryanredsox3475]

Watching these videos will provide more value for you as a pitcher than 95% of college pitching coaches.

[@MrBurtonPE]

Trevor I hate you haven’t been signed! Please do another series of videos like this they are so good for developing pitchers.

[@joejo6969]

Man, you saved me. I didn't know about that spiral thing. I always wondered about how pitchers look like they are "breaking" their elbows but is all about the spiral. Thank you very much

[@wangtheory]

Learning how to lead with my elbow but also aim my forearm toward the plate gave me confidence to throw harder without blowing out my elbow! I wish someone told me this when I was 12

[@un1sol_gr444]

"Just don't mess yourself up... that's it, simple!" - Laughs in torn rotator cuff... Too late man, I done messed up.

[@thelastpineappleboy6143]

thanks trev even though its 3 years later this all helps

[@anthonybonacci5159]

Hey Trev, you’re the man. I’m a junior in high school and I watch a ton of videos about this kind of stuff and no one does a better job than you. Just wanted to say thanks for all that you do here and on twitter and for baseball in general.

[@jacklanham9642]

ur a senior now. how u doin

[@COMPARISONCENTRAL]

Great video Trevor! Thanks for helping me get better

[@CMCoaching.Baseball]

Great stuff here! Been playing Baseball all of my life and constantly learning, happy to have a major league guy putting out educational videos!! Just need to remember to bring a glove and sit behind center field wall so we can play some catch!!!

[@NicholasEnglish]

Thank you Trev! Your my Charles Favorite Pitcher, outstanding guidnace , we are looking foward to more

[@matthewwinck687]

Huge problem with baseball, only 27k views on this video. This is genius, teach this to every little kid so we can stop the arm injury pandemic.

[@DKTV]

This is awesome!!!

[@Baseball-of3jf]

Awesome video. It helps us coaches be able to teach better. If I can offer one suggestion, if you did this as a voice over to a video of you pitching in slow motion, it would help the points to be a little clearer

[@beanos9532]

Thanks for all the great work you’re doing for young baseball players.

[@thatonegirlazu9847]

Every day I watch videos and try to have something click. Rarely does it happen, but that tip about moving the glove away from the torso really did wonders 🤙

[@mayzieandme6832]

Hello Trevor these are great videos. I have young boys who play baseball and I just want to teach them correctly. I pitched in college but was never taught to throw correctly which ended my career with shoulder surgeries. So thank you again for taking the time.

[@Emmanuel-dd6sw]

Another great video

[@lilt504]

Thank you. Your steps are easy to understand. And Step 1 is very useful. Too many coaches mess up players by teaching unnecessary movements. Keep it natural for your body. Please continue the good work.

[@jimkillion3932]

Love the way u simplify things. I’ve got some kids who are so messed up because things were explained to them in a very complicated way. I also like how this video really complimented the lower half video. I’ve got some kids to watch and they have to explain your video to me, they are the coaches and I’m he pitcher. Will let u know how it goes.

[@chriscraven9335]

Almost time for pitchers and catchers to report. Sweet! Good luck in Cincy, Trev, let's see you get 300 Ks, and let's see you hit a HR this season. Health, wealth, and much love, from The Land, forever, bro

[@The25Legend]

Hey Trevor, could u show clips, pictures or stand up describing these body movements? It’s sometimes hard to visualize when your chest is towards the camera how the arm should. Also, having your full body in the frame could really show the full chain of reaction. (Maybe an idea for another video. Thanks for the tips

[@jayden8636]

Thank you, I needed that arm spiral explanation

[@samlin4082]

Awesome content, learned a lot today, 100k will be easy for great creator like u.

[@br3e5ds]

Arm spiral and clearing the glove arm are the two keys I constantly have to harp with any of the kids I work with or players on my team. Once they finally feel it work correctly it’s amazing to see the lightbulb moment they have.

[@chris00nj]

Wish we had videos like this when I was a kid. I might have been a little better. However, at least I can watch this and help my kid. Thanks, Trevor!

[@shanindtheeed]

Thank you.

[@orangetank1350]

Holy hell, thank you.

[@TrollBot-dv1rk]

Hey Trevor, would like to see some breakdowns of the drills that you're doing at driveline.

[@chrisvaillancourt920]

Hey Trev. How about drill recipes to teach and reinforce each of your 4 things? Would love to see that for both upper and lower mechanics. Cheers.

[@sk82rel8]

Thanks Trev. #Hi5!

[@julianblea1711]

Your instructions are excellent! Wgat would really add to you instructions is show in slow motion each phase! Then show in its entirety the spirial that you talk about. 1. Show the angle of the body as seen by the catcher (no open position). 2. Show the forward foot plant position. 3. Show the arm position as it begins to throw. Thank you!

[@harrisonrodriguez2203]

Hey Trevor can you do a video on what you do to prevent any unnecessary risk.

[@yankeeman3597]

Man I wish I had someone teach me like this when I was still paying. had to pay hundreds of dollars for baseball clinics.

[@yort44]

..genius stuff...

[@devn266]

what they mean by throwing not being a natural movement is that while you do it instinctually, your body isn't made to throw it like that which is what causes the risk of injury. Its why you see baseball pitchers getting TJ and you don't see softball pitchers getting it. However, I agree it should feel like something you don't have to think about and the only way to get it right is to do exactly that. Focus on other things like taking momentum towards the plate, hitting spots, etc.

[@SCHPORTFOLIO]

Wicked smaht

[@acrophobicmountainclimber7514]

Hey Trevor, thanks so much for making these videos. They've been a great help for me. However, I do have one question. I have a very flexible shoulder, and I need to consciously think about my arm not moving into a weird position, which messes with my timing and makes me stiff up. Any tips you could give me? Thanks again, and keep up the great work!

[@BaelaLuv]

I would suggest pivot pickoffs and follow ignite_baseball on Instagram.

[@BaelaLuv]

learn the arm pathnas we;;. what do you mean by weird position?

[@leakyjeep5.9]

Basically feels best when "pulling" your arm to plate.

[@shuehan]

Great thanks! At the front foot plant, should we keep both shoulders closed or only the rear(throwing side) shoulder? Thanks again!!

[@StephenCombs17]

HI Trevor, Love the emphasis on leading with the elbow. Quick question, I have had pitching coaches tell my son to throw a football more often to help feel the leading of the elbow since most of the time players will have no problem leading with the elbow during a football throw. Do you see this as a good potential exercise or drill?

[@lucasgilbert7457]

Hello, I'm no Trevor Bauer but I play college baseball and I see many of the pitchers on the team doing this to help for that exact reasoning.

[@Integriteees]

Hey Trevor, Excel formation about the upper half and staying closed but I think if you could model it so people could see actually see what you're talking about would make this a perfect vid. I've tried to keep my shoulders close after my front foot hits but it opens way too early, how do you stay back? Please help!

[@MikeGreenMusic99]

Do you recommend pointing your toe at home plate or landing with it parallel with your foot that's on the rubber?

[@TheRoadLessChosen]

When do you clear the glove? Move it out of the way of the torso?

[@itsnogia9145]

Great pitcher, great guy, great content creator, is there anything you can’t do?

[@noahbrennan3449]

It's giano Biotch Get Machado out 😂

[@itsnogia9145]

Noah Brennan right I forgot about his daddy😂

[@The1998jacky]

Such a fantastic video and channel Trevor! I am Taiwanese and Im so confuse why theres just 22thousands sub? Need more support!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@thebrasilgroup]

My head is spinning. I'm confused on how you can keep your shoulders closed and clear your arm at foot plant. Seems like the two are working against each other. What am I missing?

[@yoseop02]

Does long toss help pitchers?

[@therealkr3]

yes...

[@chris00nj]

Yes. Have you not seen Trevor's in-game long toss?

[@kdiaz916]

When is the proper time in a at bat to throw a 2 seam instead of 4 seam

[@kdiaz916]

And how do you indicate it’s better to throw a 2 seam then a 4 seam in a game

[@jhm7170]

You probably want to see how a hitter reacts to your four seam, relevant to how your two seam moves. If your two seam moves away from a hitter, and their swing indicates they’re a hard pull hitter, its probably a good idea to mix in a two seam after a 4 seam on the outside corner. You already know he isn’t comfortable on that half of the plate, and after seeing a 4 seam on the corner, your 2 seam is gonna look the exact same until he starts his swing at which point it will exit the zone. All about the hitter. Theres no end all answer

[@kdiaz916]

jake Holmes thanks Greg maddux

[@TheRoadLessChosen]

Dude. Is. Too. Damn. Intelligent. 😂😂😂😂

[@coopbaer4512]

Throwing isn’t a natural movement that’s why players have shoulder issues. A natural human shoulder motion is more similar to a straight armed javelin throw.

[@adams7942]

When you quote mulan

[@uhhcoolstory5627]

4:11 doesn’t make sense to properly set your self up at front foot strike?😂 cmon Bauer you know you have to

[@vkblue317]

Trevor you say you want to help people, but yet you don’t answer the questions in the comments section?

[@Sam-sulek-clips]

Bruh imagine cavemen pumping 95 at animals😂

[@tonyfro23]

I've watched them all and shared with all the parents of kids I know that's appropriate obviously. I'm 45 YO lol and it's fascinating. Btw I love how people scream athletes are boring and never say anything...you say exactly what you think and you are an asshole. I use to by into that narrative and did a little critical thinking after all the MLB Network Radio stuff with Casey and others and figured out my simple mindset was the problem. What a world if even 20 athletes in each pro sport just didn't give 2 effs and said what was on their mind meanwhile being intelligent, having a point, and making an effort on multiple levels in their sport!

[@trevorlinaman7032]

First can I get a heart!

[@moramosquera1209]

The weary dorothy intialy report because sushi concordantly glue concerning a teeny-tiny plow. vigorous, gleaming bagpipe

[@zachgresham1653]

Trevor has either lied to himself or lied to the viewer about these mechanics! The glove side and front foot stuff is not actually what happens
