How awesome is it to have a current all star big league pitcher who actually knows what he's doing and is able to explain it do it for free. You're a legend man, I can't believe you're actually doing this.
I grew up in Houston and have been a Houston MLB fan since the Roger Metzger years. l'm a faithful fan of the Collegiate baseball sport as well, and I was a big time fan of yours while you were in the collegiate ranks. The MLB fallout from the Astros cheating scandal is a horrible ball to swallow. Following the scandal, I decided I would never watch another Houston MLB game until the ENTIRE 2017 team roster rolled over meaning there isn't a single player left on the team from the 2017 roster. Thank you so much for speaking your mind in attempt to keep the game clean!!!! EVERYONE on the planet who is a baseball fan should subscribe to your youtube channel. You are a testament to keeping the game clean and reaching out to young players is a testament to your love of the game! I'm sporting a Reds cap now! I'm hoping you bring home the Cy Young award sometime during your career. Rock on Trevor! O.K. , maybe I'll catch the stros again as soon as their 2017 Starting Roster turns over......but I will forsure being sporting a Trevor Bauer hat till I leave the MLB planet.
Trevor. Absolutely love this. One small note: I would love it there was more video evidence of what you're talking about. Any visual example is super beneficial. I know that's a lot of work editing wise but even if you could provide an example of a pitcher who does what you're talking about so we can look it up for ourselves. The more I can physically see what you're talking about, the easier it is for me to observe.
Trevor, hopefully I’m not the only one, but I could watch these videos for hours. I love all that you do for young pitchers like myself, you’ve inspired me to become a better pitcher and work harder. Keep putting out these kinds of videos because I enjoy all of them
Hello Trevor, I met you at the Wiffleball Event in July 2019. I actually asked you the question of "How do I get out of a hitting slump?" Thanks PS I was on Team 4
I absolutely love your idea of “observing”. When I work with kids (high school), I always ask them to repeat what we talked about previously or even what their coach (HS or travel team) wants them to focus on off season. It’s amazing that they remember very little. I mention to write things down but I’m not with them a lot so it’s hard. From this point forward I’ll be telling them that if they don’t write things down then they are not serious about improving. Love your videos, great information and ideas. You’ve gone to #1 on my list of favorite current pitchers, you’re on my team-go Reds (big fan since Big Red Machine day).
This is honestly my favorite channel I watch on youtube. You are so informative and helpful, only mlb player that I have really seen do this kind of thing.
Thanks Trev. Learned a lot from this, I tried all these things you said and when I did this it felt like I had a lot more flow instead of being kind of tense when throwing.
Could you talk about the importance of shoulder abduction? What is it? How does this flexion influence postural or mechanical advantages? What can I do to improve it?
Trevor, you explained about 10 minutes into your video that elite throwers start opening their hips earlier rather than later. I was wondering if you could expound on that more in a future video and how they separate themselves.
Great stuff, I'm in education and look at explanation videos with a slightly different eye, the examples you used; some viewers understand what you are demonstrating but others don't. It is also left open to be misunderstood, was that video an example of the correct or incorrect motion? Overlaying an arrow helping focus attention on your point or a split screen of two different versions (good v bad) would help a ton. If picture is worth a thousand words, a video must be a million, but if I'm not sure what I'm looking at or focusing on, then the impact of the point is lost. I hope that makes sense - my son and I are now on our second listening of Bauer Bytes Season 1 and loving *ALL* your content. Do you have any tips for the spouse who is complaining about the off season THUMP THUMP THUMP of plyo balls in our home?
Trevor... I'm 48 years old.. still pitching for fun mostly. But, with my age what can I do to help get my velocity up to at least 80? I'm in the low 70's to 62. Hope to hear back. Love this stuff. Wish I had this pitching in high school. Good luck on your playoff run in Cincinnati!
Thank you for taking the time to teach and mentor. I been taught to stay closed as long as possible can you please help me understand opening early. Thank you!
Phenomenal video. Looking forward to showing it to my sons. I’d love to hear your thoughts on teaching the curve ball to youth players, addressing safety/arm care concerns and how to teach it effectively.
The water leaking analogy is genius. I’ve been landing on my toe for so long and my front heel wouldn’t even touch the ground and trying to figure out why , and I feel like it’s from over extending or kind of jumping off my back leg. So now I am going to try and fix that
Great stuff, as usual Trevor. I also have a question on opening the hips early. Does this mean before the front foot comes down, at foot strike, or immediately after foot strike? Or does it depend on the pitcher (loose mover vs. tight mover, etc.)? Thanks.
This might be crazy but what about a challenge where you use a random number generator to generate a specific movement/spin profile, and then try to replicate it? Could be a cool exercise in stretching the limits of ball control. That said, *I DO NOT WANT YOU TO INJURE YOURSELF* because you're one of my favorite pitchers
Trevor, I think that this video was great and you touched on a lot of different topics and did a good job of explaining things very well. I am a college pitcher and I am having trouble with “triple extension” on my back leg. Do you have any tips or mental queues that help with that? Thanks.
Also huge question on the back leg drive. What time in the delivery should it be twisting down to open up the hip? I feel like “staying closed” taught me bad habits that stopped me from fully opening my hip. So as Im reteaching myself to open my hips, when should be leg be driving down to maximize that leg power? Should it be as late as possible, or early?
Trevor great videos. I think to make the format a little better if you could use visuals. A lot of RUclips audience like visuals, I think that would help with format of the videos.
I would be absolutely furious if I was a pitcher in the American league the last few years. I feel like a of my stats were screwed up and affected by cheating. You're awesome man and one of my favorite pitchers. Hope you have a killer season this year.
Hey Mr. Bauer I am 17 and during the summer I was averaging 88-90 mph every game. But my control isn’t that great, so I was just wondering what are some ways that I might be able to increase my accuracy?
Hello Trevor i am a sophomore high school pitcher, and I'm writing this becase when I am pitching I feal that I'm losing power when I land and I can't seem to figure that out What is happening even after I looked at the rest if my mechanics. Thank you
Love the ideas and the videos I think will be great. Some constructive criticism, you went a bit fast and jumped around a bit making it kind of hard to follow.
please explain why you sued Top Velocity. the only pitching program that actually teaches proper 100% injury preventative 90+ mph mechanics. Because they said negative things about you doing driveline? Well, I mean yeah, weighted balls are bad for you the way you use them. Just wait.
Coop well when a denier, or someone against the way you do things, uses you to promote their philosophy without your permission it tends to piss people off.
This guy is easily my favorite MLB pitcher.
The king of mechanics is back 👏🏻
fuzzyyyyy lol almost one year later

I would like for you to go more into opening your hips early. I’ve heard the back hip opens up he front hip
Your drive leg opens your hips. Your “front and back” hip are fused together
Trevor, hopefully I’m not the only one, but I could watch these videos for hours. I love all that you do for young pitchers like myself, you’ve inspired me to become a better pitcher and work harder. Keep putting out these kinds of videos because I enjoy all of them
You’re hands down the most hardworking pitcher in the league, thank you for showing us how you do it
Hello Trevor, I met you at the Wiffleball Event in July 2019. I actually asked you the question of "How do I get out of a hitting slump?" Thanks

You are good at this. You come across authentic and your passion for pitching and helping others comes across the screen.

Spoken like a true engineer! There always needs to be a process!
This is honestly my favorite channel I watch on youtube. You are so informative and helpful, only mlb player that I have really seen do this kind of thing.
Bro tell me one useful or insightful thing that he said
You are the man. You kill it with these videos. Next bullpen: Observe, evaluate & make changes.
I appreciate your insight brotha. As a pitcher and a student of the game, all of this applies to me one way or another and I soak it up like a sponge!
Thanks Trev. Learned a lot from this, I tried all these things you said and when I did this it felt like I had a lot more flow instead of being kind of tense when throwing.

trying to understand English for this
this is very detailed and legit.
Nice video Trev, can you make a video of explaining drifting forward during the leg lift you said on 9:13 with more details?
Trevor... I'm 48 years old.. still pitching for fun mostly. But, with my age what can I do to help get my velocity up to at least 80? I'm in the low 70's to 62. Hope to hear back. Love this stuff. Wish I had this pitching in high school. Good luck on your playoff run in Cincinnati!
How to get hip shoulder separation efficiently, when is it too much, too little and what cue(s) can I use to feel that?
9:50 I see what you’re doing there @topvelocity
Thank you for taking the time to teach and mentor. I been taught to stay closed as long as possible can you please help me understand opening early. Thank you!
Great stuff Trev!!!
Phenomenal video. Looking forward to showing it to my sons. I’d love to hear your thoughts on teaching the curve ball to youth players, addressing safety/arm care concerns and how to teach it effectively.
Thank you for this channel, Trev, it's quickly become a fave of mine. Much love from The Land, always, bro.
Awesome stuff! Thanks for sharing your knowledge !
Sick video , would be happy if you would go over the H - S separation more detailed
The water leaking analogy is genius. I’ve been landing on my toe for so long and my front heel wouldn’t even touch the ground and trying to figure out why , and I feel like it’s from over extending or kind of jumping off my back leg. So now I am going to try and fix that
Thanks for the lesson Mr. Bauer
I’d love to see a video on the benefits of J-Bands, for both before and after pitchinh
Keep it up. I like the format, like the 3 things to remember.
Awesome! Trev is doing great things for the game
Great stuff, as usual Trevor. I also have a question on opening the hips early. Does this mean before the front foot comes down, at foot strike, or immediately after foot strike? Or does it depend on the pitcher (loose mover vs. tight mover, etc.)? Thanks.
Good Stuff Trev. Super informative. Stay Safe ! ⚾️
This might be crazy but what about a challenge where you use a random number generator to generate a specific movement/spin profile, and then try to replicate it? Could be a cool exercise in stretching the limits of ball control. That said, *I DO NOT WANT YOU TO INJURE YOURSELF* because you're one of my favorite pitchers
This is great! Thanks💪🏼
Trevor,
I think that this video was great and you touched on a lot of different topics and did a good job of explaining things very well. I am a college pitcher and I am having trouble with “triple extension” on my back leg. Do you have any tips or mental queues that help with that?
Thanks.
Great video! Stuff like this is awesome for the game!
I have written an internal company blog using your video as a starting point. It's getting some traction
Also huge question on the back leg drive. What time in the delivery should it be twisting down to open up the hip? I feel like “staying closed” taught me bad habits that stopped me from fully opening my hip. So as Im reteaching myself to open my hips, when should be leg be driving down to maximize that leg power? Should it be as late as possible, or early?
love it. wish more pro guys did this
I love this bro! Keep them comin 😁😁 🔥
Trevor great videos. I think to make the format a little better if you could use visuals. A lot of RUclips audience like visuals, I think that would help with format of the videos.
I learned that my high leg kick takes me off balance and pulls my plant leg open. Also arm path takes a hit as well.
need help with knee folding down rather then extending. What would be a cause of that early in the delivery?
What is a good drill to improve the drop phase?
I would be absolutely furious if I was a pitcher in the American league the last few years. I feel like a of my stats were screwed up and affected by cheating. You're awesome man and one of my favorite pitchers. Hope you have a killer season this year.
Elite content
Hey Trev how do we get the drift down and also try to stay in a mitral position
Hey Mr. Bauer I am 17 and during the summer I was averaging 88-90 mph every game. But my control isn’t that great, so I was just wondering what are some ways that I might be able to increase my accuracy?
Could you explain the arm action
How long should your stride be?
Can you explain opening the hips more?
Hello Trevor i am a sophomore high school pitcher, and I'm writing this becase when I am pitching I feal that I'm losing power when I land and I can't seem to figure that out What is happening even after I looked at the rest if my mechanics.
Thank you
So when my front foot lands where should my back foot be
Shouldn’t a pitcher have on-file a complete breakdown of his motion taken when he is pitching well? To have a standard to compare to during a slump?
💪🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Hey Trevor who do you miss most in Cleveland and who do you like most in Cincinnati
Your workout routine
Love the ideas and the videos I think will be great. Some constructive criticism, you went a bit fast and jumped around a bit making it kind of hard to follow.
please explain why you sued Top Velocity. the only pitching program that actually teaches proper 100% injury preventative 90+ mph mechanics. Because they said negative things about you doing driveline? Well, I mean yeah, weighted balls are bad for you the way you use them. Just wait.
I didn’t have a good video to get in the video but I tried lol
Can't like this man for suing TopVelocity

This shit is common sense
