"Love that he is helping" - Trevor Bauer earns praise from agent Rachel Luba for assisting former team pitcher despite no NPB Return

After being suspended from the MLB in the wake of sexual assault allegations, Trevor Bauer signed a one-year, $4 million contract with the Yokohama DeNA BayStars of the Nippon Professional Baseball league in Japan. There, he pitched for a year, and it seems he's still continuing to help his former team's player.

On Friday, Bauer's agent, Rachel Luba, shared a tweet from @sanspo_baystars saying that DeNa's new foreign player, Andre Jackson, credits Bauer for his transformative June, pitching a 1.01 ERA in June.

Replying to this post, Luba praised Bauer for helping his former team's pitcher despite not returning to pitch in the NPB this season.

"While @BauerOutage might not be a @ydb_yokohama this season, love that he’s still helping their pitchers dominate on the mound👏🏻," she tweeted.

Andre Jackson started four games in June and posted good results, with two wins, one loss and an ERA of 1.01.

It was after he had struggled in April, where he pitched in five games, going 1-3 with losses and an ERA of 6.26. Talking about his June performance, Jackson credits Bauer for his advice.

"When I was starting to feel better, I exchanged messages with Bauer," Jackson said via Sanspo (translated to English). "I was having a hard time, so he gave me a lot of advice because he throws pitches similar to me."

Trevor Bauer breaks strikeout record and tops pitching charts, per latest update by Rachel Luba

Trevor Bauer is playing for the Diablos Rojos del México of the Mexican League. He seems to be performing brilliantly in the LMB, and just a week ago, the former Cy Young winner threw 8.2 innings for 19 strikeouts, shattering the previous league record of 18 strikeouts.

Moreover, Trevor Bauer is leading the LMB with 1.66 ERA and 110 strikeouts. The second-best mark trailing him is Randall Delgado with a 3.47 ERA.

Bauer has extended his stay with the Diablos Rojos del México for the remainder of the season after initially agreeing a five game deal in hopes of landing a major league offer.

With that not materializing, Bauer continues to stitch together a good season south of the border.
