watch how all of bauer's pitches tend to come out of the same throwing lane. They all look like they're going to be up and in, but his curve breaks away at the last second when hitters think it's a fastball. If he threw his fastball away and low to hitters it would look completely different out of the hand. He learned this effective velocity stuff from Ron Wolforth and in my opinion it's why he has such an absurd strikeout rate, even with the plus stuff he has
@didoma73 'He hasn't changed his cap since he came to UCLA because, well, maybe because Lincecum also wears a years-old cap. "He is the pitcher I admire most," Bauer says.'
Nice thing about him is that I don't think he'll have a lot of arm problems because he doesn't have a huge snap of his arm like a lot of pitchers (mark prior). I might worry about his shoulder however.
@LiquidSquall Nah. He's going to be like Nolan Ryan because he's taught the same things as Nolan Ryan by someone who's studied him. He throws, on average, 140 pitches per game because he trains that way and decelerates so well. Ron Wolforth is the pitching guy also.
Huh. Skaggs is gone (RIP), Bauer is one of the best pitchers in the league, I’ve never even heard of Jarrod Parker, and forgot Kennedy and Hudson were starters
