KENT, Wash. -- A white bucket sat on the back of the mound constructed inside Driveline Baseball's research facility, filled with baseballs of different weights and sizes. Indians pitcher Trevor Bauer stood within a metal grid fixed with high-speed cameras, detailing the list of drills he does daily during his offseason workouts at the complex outside Seattle.
Really, not much has changed over the years for Bauer.
In his youth, Bauer would hook a bucket of baseballs to the handlebars of his bike and ride over to a park near his California home. Baseball practice was over.
