Trevor Bauer is one of the most talented American pitchers currently and he had a great career in Major League Baseball before he was suspended for 324 games.
The former Los Angeles Dodgers violated the league’s domestic violence and sexual assault policy after a woman said he beat and sexually abused her in 2021.
Ever since, Bauer has pitched overseas, first for the Mexican League and currently he’s playing for the Yokohama DeNA BayStars, where he hopes to mantain game rhythm so that he could be allowed to pitch once again for an MLB team.
Bauer sets himself for a big challenge
Trevor Bauer founded Momentum, an athlete-driven media company. He also has a podcast and YouTube vlog where he discusses pitching mechanics and playing professional baseball in the United states and overseas. He enjoys regular success with his media endeavors.
One of his latest videos includes a major challenge: catching a baseball 50,000 times in a month to prove effort isn’t enough without a plan, and who better to come up with a designed strategy than Bauer, who won the National League Cy Young Award in 2020.
However, the former MLB pitcher found out early that his challenge was way harder than he thought. Luckily for him, he had his father Warren Bauer – a chemical engineer from the Colorado School of MInes – on his side, who helped him every step of the way. At the end, Trevor was able to complete his endurance challenge, not without having his hands destroyed because of how many times he had to catch a baseball.
Trevor makes a case for his MLB comeback
Trevor Bauer believes he deserves another major league opportunity, and he’s publicly spoken about it on his social media channels, where he reminds the world that he’s one of the best pitchers and that he has enough talent to take an MLB team to new heights.
“I’m the second most popular player and the most knowledgeable pitcher on the planet. I’m also a top 10 pitcher on the planet and willing to play for $0. That’s minimum $50M value per year that you’d get for $0. But, someone very obviously lied about me one time so, I can’t go back to work. The absurdity of this situation is off the charts.” Bauer has said about his legal problems.
The 34 yeard old pitcher was never charged with a crime in the matter, and civil claims against him were settled. He’s been trying to revive his big-league career with no success, as no MLB team has taken the chance on him because of the repercussions.
