About Trevor Bauer
Trevor Andrew Bauer (born January 17, 1991) is an American professional baseball pitcher for the Diablos Rojos del México of the Mexican League. He has previously played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Arizona Diamondbacks, Cleveland Indians, Cincinnati Reds, and Los Angeles Dodgers. Bauer has also played in Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB) for the Yokohama DeNA BayStars. Bauer and Gerrit Cole helped lead the UCLA Bruins to a 22-game win streak and a College World Series appearance in 2010. The following year, Bauer won both the Golden Spikes Award and the National Pitcher of the Year Award. The Diamondbacks selected him third overall in the 2011 MLB draft. Bauer made his major league debut the following June, becoming the first member of his draft class to reach the majors. Bauer clashed with his Diamondbacks teammates during the 2012 season. In December 2012, he was traded to the Cleveland Indians. He spent his first two seasons there retooling his pitching approach and repairing mechanics after a 2012 injury. By 2016, he had emerged as a regular force in the Indians' starting rotation. Shortly after his first MLB All-Star Game appearance in 2018, Bauer's career trajectory was interrupted by a stress fracture that kept him out of the rotation until the end of the season. Bauer struggled during the 2019 season and was traded to the Cincinnati Reds in July. During the pandemic-shortened 2020 season, Bauer became the first Reds player to win the Cy Young Award. Bauer became a free agent after the 2020 season and signed a three-year contract with the Dodgers in February 2021. He led the National League in both strikeouts and innings pitched through July 2, but spent the rest of the season on administrative leave as MLB investigated sexual assault allegations against him. On April 29, 2022, MLB suspended Bauer for 324 games for violating its Joint Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault and Child Abuse Policy. On appeal, the suspension was reduced to 194 games. Bauer has not been criminally charged in connection with the sexual assault allegations. The Dodgers released him on January 12, 2023. Bauer then signed with the Yokohama DeNA BayStars of Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB). After one season in Japan, Bauer signed with Diablos Rojos del México of the Mexican League (LMB); there, he won the Pitcher of the Year award and helped the team win the 2024 championship. Bauer played for the BayStars again in 2025 and signed with the Long Island Ducks in 2026. On June 23, 2026 Trevor announced that he would be leaving the Ducks and reuniting with the Mexico City Diablos Rojos for the remainder of the 2026 season.
