In business, I'm always trying to get the best outcome for the best price. So it's kind of crazy. I haven't looked at my life insurance in years.

58.926 - 64.133 Trevor Bauer

Data shows shorter time in between like explosive movements, increases injury risk, tunneling.

Chapter 5: Why is Shohei Ohtani considered underpaid in MLB?

64.393 - 73.866 Trevor Bauer

So if you can like, if you imagine like a tunnel, all your pictures are going down the tunnel. And then at some point on the tunnel, like if you're driving down the tunnel, there's like exit that comes off this way or an exit goes off that way. That's like the different pitch movements.

0

73.946 - 82.697 Trevor Bauer

You're in the same tunnel for part of the flight, pitches go off in different directions, but it's split off too late for hitters to really be able to make many adjustments. So that's like the gold standard.

Chapter 6: How did Trevor Bauer design a new pitch that changed his career?

82.877 - 86.522 Trevor Bauer

No tipping, same exact delivery, same exact tunnel, different movements.

92.229 - 93.15 Unknown

You're playing in medleys?

0

93.637 - 97.181 Trevor Bauer

Yeah, every now and then I go out and play men's leagues, like the shot ball.

0

97.261 - 98.202 Unknown

That's not fair for people.

0

98.743 - 100.926 Trevor Bauer

Well, we handicap ourselves. We'll play like 4v9. Oh.

Chapter 7: What motivated Trevor to chase the Cy Young award for a decade?

101.727 - 104.209 Trevor Bauer

Yeah. So we have basically no defenders.

0

104.65 - 113.4 Sean Kelly

So you just have the bases, but no outfielders. Basically, yeah. I made a bet with my friend. I have to ask you this. If you pitched 50 times to me, would I be able to make contact with the ball?

0

113.861 - 118.626 Trevor Bauer

Did you play baseball at all? When I was super young. So like how old were you when you last played?

0

118.647 - 119.087 Sean Kelly

Like 10.

0

119.557 - 124.185 Trevor Bauer

Okay. 50 times, you're just talking like put the ball in play?

124.726 - 125.828 Sean Kelly

It has to be in bounds, yeah.

125.848 - 126.229 Trevor Bauer

In play?

Chapter 8: Why is hitting a baseball considered nearly impossible?

126.51 - 128.613 Trevor Bauer

Yeah, I think one out of 50, you probably put it in play.

0

128.774 - 129.335 Unknown

Okay.

0

129.355 - 138.271 Trevor Bauer

Yeah, like the first 10 or 15, you struggle, and then like you kind of get adapted to it. And then I don't think you're going to hit, but I think you probably put one in play. Okay.

0

138.291 - 141.596 Unknown

You hear that, Charlie? I was right. Okay. He didn't think I could do it.

0

141.897 - 155.474 Trevor Bauer

My agent actually, so she's, she played like zero base goal, maybe like a year of tee ball or something when she was five. But she stepped in the box like last year or two years ago, faced 95. Her third swing, she like foul tipped it.

155.554 - 161.081 Sean Kelly

No way. Yeah, 95 miles per hour? Yeah. Well done to her. Wow, because they use bigger balls in softball too.

161.141 - 167.029 Trevor Bauer

Yeah. Yeah, super impressive. So I think, yeah, given that you've at least played before and swung a bat, you probably...

167.212 - 171.077 Sean Kelly

Oh, yeah. He also said you'd have some fatigue as you pitch more and more.

171.097 - 180.989 Trevor Bauer

50 pitches, yeah, but you're looking at least, yeah, over 100 pitches there. Yeah, if it lost, like, 10 at-bats, you'd probably be kind of fatigued.
