Hitting the Mound After MLB Stint
Trevor Bauer joins the Yokohama DeNA BayStars
Trevor Bauer is making a comeback in professional baseball. After struggling to find a team in the MLB, the pitcher has signed with the Yokohama DeNA BayStars of the Japanese Baseball League (NPB).
Bauer, 30, had a successful MLB career before being suspended in 2021 for violating the league's domestic violence policy. He pitched for the Cincinnati Reds, Cleveland Guardians, and Los Angeles Dodgers, winning the NL Cy Young Award in 2020.
The BayStars have high hopes for Bauer, who has a career record of 83-68 with a 3.90 ERA in the MLB. He is expected to make his NPB debut in the coming weeks.
Here are some of Bauer's statistics from his previous stint in the NPB:
| Year | IP | H | SO | BB | ER |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2014 | 40 | 5 | 3 | 3 | 2 |
| 2015 | 60 | 8 | 8 | 1 | 2 |
Bauer is a talented pitcher who could have a significant impact on the BayStars this season. He will be a key piece in their rotation and should help them compete for a championship.
