Bauer is more like Bedard or Moyer stylistically than Lincecum. He purposely avoids solid contact. High Ks tend to lead to high pitch counts as well, and when you're throwing 8 CGs in a row that'll lead to a lot of pitches.
IMO this is a good thing. As he goes up the ladder, more batters will start making contact with those pitcher's pitches and the pitch counts will naturally go down. His pitching is well fit to succeed at the MLB level because he tries to avoid good contact.That approach is much more likely to succeed at the big league level than chucking strikes down the pipe with little speed differential.
