American professional baseball pitcher Trevor Andrew Bauer[1] was born on January 17, 1991, and currently plays for the Mexican League’s Diablos Rojos del México. He formerly played for the Yokohama DeNA BayStars in Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB) and the Arizona Diamondbacks, Cleveland Indians, Cincinnati Reds, and Los Angeles Dodgers in Major League Baseball (MLB).
Bauer graduated from William S. Hart High School a year ahead of schedule and enrolled at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) after dominating as a pitcher for three seasons. As sophomores in 2010, he and fellow ace Gerrit Cole guided the UCLA Bruins to a 22-game winning run and a berth in the College World Series. Bauer took home the National Pitcher of the Year Award and the Golden Spikes Award the next year.
In the 2012 season, Bauer had disagreements with his teammates in the Diamondbacks. He was dealt to the Cleveland Indians in December of 2012. After an injury in 2012, he spent the first two seasons there refining his pitching strategy and fixing his mechanics. After making his debut in the MLB All-Star Game in 2018, Bauer’s career trajectory was disrupted by a stress fracture that held him out of the rotation until the conclusion of the season. By 2016, he had established himself as a reliable force in the Indians’ starting rotation. Although Bauer had a difficult 2019 campaign, both with Cleveland and Cincinnati, he rebounded from this performance by winning the Cy Young Award for the first time in the 60-game 2020 MLB season, making history as the first Reds player to do so.
In North Hollywood, California, on January 17, 1991, Bauer was born.[1] Baseball pitchers like Tom Glavine, Greg Maddux, and John Smoltz of the Atlanta Braves captivated Bauer as a child. He received private pitching instruction from Warren and Kathy, his parents, and spent his leisure time honing his craft against the nearby tennis court fence. Because of his baseball fixation, Bauer faced bullying and had few friends in school.[2] He spent the summers at a baseball camp in Texas and continued to hone his craft at Santa Clarita’s William S. Hart High School. Bauer had a 12–0 win–loss record in 2008 as a junior, a 0.79 earned run average (ERA), and a fastball that could reach velocities.
