My son is 10yrs old and wants to be a pitcher. He gets lessons from Andrew Potter (AAA). Isaac loved watching you pitch. I appreciate you making these videos. I have no clue what I am doing so this advice helps.
This is good advice - build up your capacity to train (work capacity) more because more volume correlates to better outcomes with the caveat that you shouldn’t be in pain doing so. If one experiences pain, work on finding an entry point back in where the pain is less (maybe not non zero but less and manageable as well as decreasing). This isn’t just pitching - general training like strength training is the same thing. Resting and recovering more isn’t how you build strength, you build strength by slowly building up your work capacity so you can increase the demand on your body at a level it needs to get stronger and adapt to being able to tolerate positively this increased stress. Displaying a max effort is different but building work capacity is the key in general.
Hey Trevor, I need advice. I throw sideways, not submarine but not straight. The more I throw sideways (which feels normal) it feels painful in my elbow. In other words how can I throw straight so it could feel normal?
Man im in an academy so i work in the gym everyday, and every time i throw i get tired faster and faster and idk why you think i might be doing too much?
Goodness Trevor we really need you right now. Hang in there and be back soon please.
Very cool to have that relationship (both personal, and baseball) with your Dad Trevor! Long live all Dad's.
Cant describe how much better of a pitcher Bauer has made me 🤧
Great advice! Even me as a Mens league player, I feel throwing more helps . Will definitely long toss more
Keep it up, love your insights into development at all levels!

I appreciate the Cooperstown thumbnail, brings back memories.
Trevor I hope you get up to the championship
Glad you're out there again
I love these short videos you making!! Could you drop one talking about the educational podcast you listen to when you workout?

thanks for the videos Mr. Bauer!
Yeah I tore my rotator cuff when I was 15 pitching 3 games a week. Never pitched again with any kind of velocity.
Love your content Trevor.
really needed this
Wish I had this advice as child
When are you coming back to the diamond? Or are you......

I had a pitching lesson today and this weekend is my last tournament and that Means I can not throw a baseball until December 1
But whenever i keep throwing it increases the pain and lasts longer 😐😪
Go to 2 minutes and 25 seconds it gives you good advice on that
If you weren’t an elite pitcher, you’d be a great exercise physiologist or gravitational physicist… 😆
Buster!
We love Buster
