Money Is The Wrong Target... | Trevor Bauer | DSH #1940
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.
He also talks about playing in Mexico, the pitch clock, why pitchers get hurt, the rise of younger players, Shohei Ohtani’s real value, and the obsession that helped him become a Cy Young winner.
This is not just a baseball conversation.
It’s about discipline, data, obsession, and what it really takes to become elite.
