How I Developed A Nasty Cutter 

Good luck in Japan brother! I'm guessing you're gonna see a lot of SWORDS!!!🗡

I’d love to spend an afternoon on the mound with Trevor just throwing pitches !!! It would be a dream come true.

For my cutter, I also throw it like a fastball, but I grip it like a sinker, but turned slightly, and it gives it a ton of depth when thrown overhand and a ton of glove-side break when I drop down below sidearm

You do not disappoint. Always very meaningful advice. Great Job with sharing. Knock them dead this upcoming season and look forward to seeing you pitch again in the Majors!!

That's why i love your content, 15 years playing this damn sport and not a single person said a word to me about either pronation, supination, internal or external rotation

Trevor would make a legendary pitching coach one day. This man possesses a treasure trove of knowledge and information unlike no other. I honestly believe Trevor was set up and ousted by MLB but this guy is way smarter than those who set him up. Yes Trevor is a unique individual but all that comes with the territory. This guy is a Legend in my opinion.

Weirdly enough I was taught this pitch as a kid from a rec league coach/dad. And this is exactly how he told me to do it. I was crumbling kids at 10 years old. My release point would be the batters head. And just hoped it cut! 😅

"Its so much simple than that,two words.. spider-tac "

Thanks! My kiddo sometimes gets his FB to do cutter stuff. Turns out his thumb was in the position you throw your cutter, so moved his. Things seem much better now.

I really thought this was going to be an add to purchase the info and my only thought was damn, this is how far trev has fallen. Im fucking relieved to hear the actual advise, props to you.

IMO the thumb under it is the main component. I've pitched for fun in rec leagues for years and years and I could never figure out why sometimes I could throw a decent breaking ball and sometimes I couldn't. I never used slo-mo video but since watching "how to" videos I noticed the grip and how MLB pitchers had their thumb under it like Trevor states. I've never thrown with that type of grip. As soon as I started gripping it with my thumb under the ball...holy smokes it made a huge difference in spin/ball movement. Thank you Trevor (and others) for showing pitch grips.

Man...those Japanese Vlogs are gonna be SMOKE. Please bring Sim with you.

Thanks Mann I’ve been trying for ever 👍👍

The sounds between each jump cut is enough to make a grown man go insane holy cow.

バウアーさん。 横DeNAベイスターズを優勝へ 導いてくれ！ なにより、貴方が活躍するのを楽しみにしています😊

Exactly how my dad taught me a cutter when i was younger.. Good luck in Japan, keep up the work 💪

I have a "hitch-hikers" thumb... which just means when i give a thumbs up instead of looking like this 👍 mine points back like the Nike swoosh. It was incredibly advantagous as a pitcher cuz it allowed me to place pressure on the baseball from my thumb anywhere between the tip to the bottom of the knuckle

Hmmm. I threw mine like a fast ball with my top fingers on the horseshoe a little offset. Then I'd lift the pad part of my thumb off the ball, creating an axis for the ball to spin off when I released it. Resulted in a very late, hard, downward cut.

Hey im a lefty and I pitch in 14u and have been trying to get ahold of my cutter for a year plus now and that helps a lot

Absolutely great visual demonstration with vocal explanation.... please do more videos of each pitches...

Assuming you have the 4 seam rotation mastered. That's the one and most important thing for amature pitchers. 1st step need to master 4 seam rotation then you have a chance to learn a cutter.

Love ya Trevor!

I really wish I could've gotten information like this when I was playing ball in high school.

Best p coach out there! Gambate!

I learned this same thing but on accident. Four seam didn’t come out of my hand properly but my buddy I was throwing to was like “was that a cutter?” I’ve been able to replicate it but not consistently so usually, like most of my pitches, it’s a meatball

The baseball laces through my rotator cuff and bicep surgery scars are tingling 😂😂

Great advice

Seeing you here is wild

Hope you are enjoying Japan dude!!!!

As someone in physical therapy, I’m supposed you know supination vs pronation. And external rotation. Impressive Trevor you know your stuff

Trevor should create a baseball that has touch sensors and can be used with vr to be able to see spin/curve that you might otherwise need a slow motion camera for.

That’s cool. Where’s the hiden ninja making all those sounds?

This seems like advice for someone who is already good

I was looking for a video li me this for a weeks thanks

Dude is the mad scientist of pitching.

your amazing

Can't wait to see you in Japan

Good to c u again hope u get back to mlb ever since u threw that ball over the wall I could tell all u want to do is win an b the best been a fan take care of yourself

Good to know

Do you have any tips to what to do after you pitch and your arm hurts?

Bro is a pitching warlock

Man I wish the baseball program in my town wasn't so corrupt. I loved playing

Right now my 11yr old does not throw a traditional curve. But has a cutter. Taught by his travel coach. He can throw it for a strike any time. He has less confidence in his circle change! Lol

Sorry abt what happened in your school years that is sad trevor 😢

Bro where we’re you back when i played high school ball?😂

Genius

Thankd been trying to throw a cutter js couldn’t quite get it

You must have seen that one gym with the pitching coach that can teach anything 🤣 or this is just super common but he said everything you said didn’t work 🤣

trevor can you give curve or slider tips

all my fastballs just cut i couldnt throw one straight

Dude is getting rocked in Japan 🤣

Can u explain the sweeper? Is it like a slider mixed with a cutter?

I tried to throw a cutter as a kid and couldn’t do it until I used a gallon and a half of glue on my hand

So the "Sword" celebration will now be a "Kitana" celibration!? Sheath and bow. Good luck in Japan brother

Jay Cutler look a like

Nice

Trevor you know what’s funny I’m 10 years old right now and my cutter is my best pitch

MORE GOAT advice kids! Pay attention! Free Trevor Bauer now! He does more for the sport of baseball than any other human on the planet!

I Wana pitch and try some of your advice but I torn my rotator cuff and it's killing me .

I wish I knew this in college

Cool

Noted.

Legit

i Wana pitch so bad

Ima screwball

Sword some people in Japan

But how do you stop it from cutting ?! Send help lol

Noooo. Dude. I'm trying this tomorrow. I might need the last 5 years or so refunded if it's that easy. I'm convinced glove-side pitches are a huge conspiracy to trick me into believing physicists are real.

Works so well it gets you sent down in Japan

Its just a slider with less movement and faster

Subinated

LMAO.

Supinated

Why he in Japan now did he get kicked out the mlb? Legit my favorite pitcher (besides Adam Wainwright…I’m a cards fan)

If i had this amount of advice on a phone as a kid I wouldve had a ridiculous arsenal.

Can’t you just change the grip of the ball so you naturally put spin without changing how you throw it

Damn. Imagine if baseball took skill

The MLB is a joke for forcing you out. Japan is lucky to have you and I think you will enjoy baseball more in Japan

That isn’t bad for your elbow?

Hot dammit Trevor. English bro

Hahahahaha Japan boy

I’m pretty sure all cutters as a kid turn into sliders being they don’t throw hard enough to actually cut a fastball. Just saying. Unless you are mid 8’s and 60’6”, they are just lazy sliders. Gravity is a MF. 😂

can somebody tell me how to learn pitch i've never played baseball i'm 17 and only at home

First hi Trevor Can you give me an autographed momentum baseball

Trying to teach 8 year olds to throw off the mound the coaches keep telling them to take this giant step... doesn't make sense to me

Yeoooooooo what happened to ur mlb career????

Or just be able to throw one naturally. Pshhhh

I'm sorry but if you're arm is twisted in screwball style on a fastball, then RIP your tendons

Already pissing off 🇯🇵 teammates and swording minor leaguers.

Who cares?

Stop talking so soft and telling kids how to pitch

Easier explanation: throw is more like a football

I don't see this guy ever making the Hall of Fame
