Trevor Bauer has been dominating the Mexican League, pitching to a 1.50 ERA in five starts. In one of them, he tossed an immaculate inning, which he was mic'd up for.
Back on April 21, Trevor Bauer tossed six scoreless innings while striking out 14 batters in the Mexican League. That splendid outing also included an immaculate inning - nine pitches, all strikes, three strikeouts. The 2020 National League Cy Young Award winner was mic'd up for the occasion, and released the video on his X account earlier this week.
Bauer started the immaculate inning by dotting a four-seem fastball on the inside corner, in which he 'perfectly set up' himself. After getting him to swing on a breaking ball, Bauer took note. 'He does not like curveballs - we're just going back to it,' he said. He did just that - and earned his first strikeout. It was also clear that Bauer had done his homework, as he knew that the next batter would 'swing at the first pitch, so I'll throw you a cutter.
Bauer is playing in Mexico after not signing with an MLB team for the second year in a row amid sexual assault allegations made against him. After being an All-Star in Japan last year, he's even better this year. Last season, his ERA was 2.59 - this year, it's a minuscule 1.50 in his first five starts. He's also striking out 14.1 batters per nine innings.
In a combined 28 starts in the COVID-shortened 2020 season and his abbreviated 2021 campaign, his ERA was 2.24, and he struck out 11.8 batters per nine innings with a 0.92 WHIP. Bauer and Lindsey Hill, who accused the pitcher of beating and sexually abusing her in 2021, settled their case late last year. Bauer revealed texts from Hill, who said Bauer would be her 'next victim,' among other damning messages.
