About this episode

Trevor Bauer discusses the complexities of pitching and the mental and technical aspects of baseball.

Baseball looks simple until you hear how elite pitchers actually think. Trevor Bauer breaks down the science behind pitching, injury risk, pitch design, tunneling, and why hitters have almost no time to react. From 95 mph fastballs to designing pitches in a lab, Trevor explains why baseball is way more mental, technical, and brutal than most fans realize.

This is not just a baseball conversation. It’s about discipline, data, obsession, and what it really takes to become elite. ⏱️ Chapters 0:00 Could Sean Hit Trevor Bauer? 5:55 Mexican Baseball Is Wild 8:32 Why Pitchers Get Injured 12:08 Baseball Prime Years 14:23 Trevor’s Extreme Diet Routine 16:07 The Pitch Clock Problem 18:35 Why Ohtani Is Underpaid 23:07 How Trevor Built a New Pitch 30:38 Chasing the Cy Young 45:32 Why Hitting Is Almost Impossible 🧠 What You’ll Learn ⚾ Why hitting a 95 mph fastball is almost impossible 🧠 How elite pitchers hide what pitch is coming 🔬 How Trevor Bauer designs pitches using physics 🚨 Why the pitch…
