Honestly seeing this now, a few years after my playing days. This Lowkey gave me clarity. I always felt I was very skilled but there would be games, weeks, tournaments where I would have an inconsistent thought process. I would be thinking about how my coach would get mad because I pulled the ball too much. So all I could think about was staying back on the ball. I was lost after going to a new team with great coaches, very in my head. There was definitely times where I felt comfortable and obviously that’s when playing is the most fun. Genuinely happy for the following generations of baseball that they have someone like you to go this in depth into the game, truly amazing. Like the great yogi Berra said “90% of the game is physical, the other half is mental”. Keep doing your thing Trev!
It honestly blows my mind how well this dude can articulate ideas I've had trouble even conceptualizing my whole life. Baseball's future generations are lucky af to have influences like him & resources like this info.
Thanks so much Trevor! Can't thank you enough for not only putting in the time and effort of sharing this great information/tips but the fact that it is free and for everyone just makes it that much better. P.S. Please sign with the Blue Jays
Love the psychology based talk in this video. This is what separates the good from the great. I'd love to hear more about the different types of mindsets involved during the different jobs a pitcher has. For example, how do pitchers separate on the field and off the field character, training mindset vs. game mindset, and how do pitchers best sort through all the moving parts during the different phases of a professional season?
Trevor, I don't know if you reply to comments but I'm gonna ask anyway...When you are working in your bullpens in season between starts, do you ever purposefully get into the narrow internal mindset? This is when you might be trying to fix something specific mechanically. I understand that you try to make mechanical adjustments in the offseason but sometimes you discover something in season that you need to work on. Thanks for the video.
Hey Trevor, sorry to hear your season is still postponed, but am glad to see you're healthy. Could you say that...then in order to be in flow state you need to have consistent intentional time in the right side of the quadrant? #whatkindofcleats?
I like how this is part of the mental side of things. Do you think you could do something on how to handle failing and be able to succeed the next play. I think it would be really beneficial to hear more about the mental side of the game coming from a big leaguer.
Hey Trevor. Would love to hear your thoughts on whether or not “clutch” is actually a thing. It seems to be a good segway as kind of the opposite of choking. Also if you could send this video to Jon Lester for me that would be great.
How do you deal with a teammate who is in a slump? Do you leave the coaching staff to deal with it or do you step in and try and offer help yourself? I have to imagine it's a fine line to cross.
Would you say that when you are learning a new technique or tweaking mechanics that you SHOULD be in narrow internal? Like as a decent golfer I constantly have to think about little internal cues, especially on the range. Maybe the idea is narrow internal works for practice but go more external during competition?
hey trevor I am a high school baseball player and I base my mechanics off of yours for many reasons. I would love to talk to you about the reasons and to get your help which I need desperately.
Can’t believe I can watch this for free....
Shut up do t give him any ideas lol😂
Haha!
Thanks
Good stuff, thx

Genuinely wish I had you as a resource on TH-cam when I was playing.
Glad you learned something from these videos. Love hearing that!
wish i would have seen this during my baseball tryout
Thank you so much, I’ve been watching this once a week.
It honestly blows my mind how well this dude can articulate ideas I've had trouble even conceptualizing my whole life. Baseball's future generations are lucky af to have influences like him & resources like this info.
You just explain exactly what I do and what I need to do! Thank you!
Glad to help!

Thanks a lot. I just got a terrible grade for one of my classes, and this is inspiring and made a lot of sense.
Glad it helped!

I'll address this on one of my next episodes of Fan Fridays!
Awesome thank you!
Thank you so much for this video. I could relate to it a lot. I had the throwing yips for a couple months and it was the worst feeling ever.
Trevor that was amazing! Im excited to see your videos so much!
More to come!
That gave me a more deep understanding of different mindsets, so thank you!
Glad it was helpful!

Awesome content Mr. Bauer, I love your content.
I like how this is part of the mental side of things. Do you think you could do something on how to handle failing and be able to succeed the next play. I think it would be really beneficial to hear more about the mental side of the game coming from a big leaguer.
Love it trev

It’s not that easy to get rid of the yips
Trevor! Huge fan man, hope I can see you pitch sometime in person. Hope all is well
hey trevor. whats you preference on ball gloves? what brands and patterns have u used over time and why did u settle to the one now
I'm answering this question in an upcoming episode of Fan Fridays. I'll have my Nike glove with me and show you all the specs.
How do you deal with a teammate who is in a slump? Do you leave the coaching staff to deal with it or do you step in and try and offer help yourself? I have to imagine it's a fine line to cross.
Great question - I'd like to answer this question in an upcoming episode so other can hear.
Would you say that when you are learning a new technique or tweaking mechanics that you SHOULD be in narrow internal? Like as a decent golfer I constantly have to think about little internal cues, especially on the range. Maybe the idea is narrow internal works for practice but go more external during competition?
any tips of getting out of the narrow internal mindset
get out of it.
Can you work on mechanics in practice (ie shortening arm action) in the narrow external mindset?
This is great information, but too bad all never be in the “big game” 😔 my church slow pitch team is never in the hunt!
I always knew to not think at the plate, but I never knew what those mind states were called or how they affect you.
@ClaytonKershaw
What’s up trevor
I’m in little league and While pitching I do great on those type of moments but I can’t do anything at the plate
hey trevor I am a high school baseball player and I base my mechanics off of yours for many reasons. I would love to talk to you about the reasons and to get your help which I need desperately.
Uh ou
Thx bro I kinda suck so I’ll let u know if it helps
Do you thinking “choking” is real in the MLB? I personally don’t think so.
First
No u not I was
