i swear when we were playing back i the 90's, a lot of these technique's didn't exist... and it's fun to see this sort of evolution of the game. bauer is FAMOUS for taking his practice and routines to the next level. it's like he's more interested in what the human body can do, and using that knowledge to work on his mechanics. the proof is in the pudding... cy young winner, multiple year cy young contender.

This was the best instruction on the pitching form I ever saw, a little depressing as I really needed this years ago, boy I wish I grew up next to Trevor, I had two AA offers just on a pure arm with no instruction, then ended up with family and parental responsibility and then time flew by, but if I had a video like this years ago it would have propelled me, players today have no idea how lucky they are that they have Trevor and YT to help them, this is amazing, it's a 'how to be a surgeon in one instructional video', if you have the talent and you listen to everything Trevor says here, you are making all the teams...simply amazing....THANK YOU TREVOR...

[@kmgreensman]

This is the first time i have ever heard and been shown how to throw a curveball! Why doesnt anyone else explain it that easy. I assumed you had to snap your wrists to get that spin.. of course its way too late to make a difference for me.. lol but i just always wondered how to correctly throw it. My dad pitched in the minor leagues in the Phillies organization back in the 60s but he never really taught me. He would say it was like the action of “pulling down a window shade” i can see that now, but didnt explain what to do with the wrists and hold the ball.. but now i know. Trevor people dont know who you are. They assume.. for you to do videos like this for the fans is such a big deal. Thank you man.. even for a man long since his prime learns a lot from your videos.

[@Chanterprise]

Sick. I learned to throw a curve based off of Eric Gagne's grip, which is very similar to how Bauer throws it. The "finger gun" curve.

12:58 I wanna see Trevor back in the MLB so he can preach these sorts of pitching techniques to anyone and everyone that will listen. He's not torquing his elbow, he's not flicking a wrist, none of that. He's letting the grip and technique do the work. This is why you'll still see Trevor Bauer throwing gas and some nasty curveballs 10 or 15 years from now, without needing Tommy John surgery or any other serious injuries. His technique throws great pitches, and also prevents injury. It's great, more players should learn this way!

Who needs a MLB pitching coach when you have Coach Bauer on your staff?! One of the intangibles provided that was overlooked.

[@duffman18]

Yeah he's known for basically coaching the entire pitching staff wherever he plays. He genuinely knows more about pitching than damn near anyone. Maybe 2nd behind the guy who fixed Nolan Ryan's throw and made his last years in baseball his most successful, with the least injury. And that same coach also taught Tom Brady how to throw better too, in a way that reduced the chance of injury while also being a better, stronger, more accurate throw. Brady saught him out because he's so well known amongst athletes. I can't remember his name but there's a GQ video on KZbin about it, if you search for "the coach who trained and fixed nolan Ryan GQ" or something and you should find it. It's just as fascinating as this Trevor Bauer video although it's more about his history than the mechanics of baseball. But yeah he has a pitching school now where he trains tons of people

I would highly recommend checking out Rob Gray if you'd like to learn more, he has the best podcast out there (The Perception Action Podcast) when it comes to this stuff and is super highly respected. His sporting background is also in Baseball and has published a lot of scientific research in baseball.
