Who cares if he copies someone? It is not like he is an artist or a musician. You can't plagiarize a delivery. Every pitcher basically does the same thing. Yes, his stride is similar to Lincecum's, who's stride was similar to Sandy Koufax.

@anthonymorabito32 its actually spelled sophomore. So he pronounced it right.

@alandeana actually i read an si article on him and he's had the weird motion since he was 12

@alandeana The kid who led the NCAA in strike outs is ripping off the guy with the two Cy Young awards. WHY WOULD HE DO THAT, THAT'S INSANE.

HE IS NO TIM LINCECUM!!! But I wish him the best and will see him soon against my SF GIANTS...

@alandeana are you crazy?! Everything this kid does is unique! I've worked with Trevor at the Texas Baseball Ranch in Houston and he does not try to copy Lincecum one bit. All of the drills that he works on has transformed his delivery into what it is today. He gets every ounce of power he can to throw as hard as he possibly cab to get guys out.

[alandeana]

He's good, but he's ripping off too much of Lincecum. Fast lower half and rotation, but there's nothing to him thats his own.

That is a fucking violent delivery.
