Former MLB pitcher Trevor Bauer is having a tough start to life in Japan after his prolonged absence from professional baseball. After being released from his contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers in January 2023, Bauer signed for the Yokohama DeNA BayStars in Japan last month.While there has been considerable buzz over the former Cy Young Award winner in Japan, his performances have not been up to the mark so far. Bauer has struggled on the mound.While he had a decent game in his first outing for his new team, he had a night to forget the second time around.Bauer ended his night against the Yomiuri Giants with a disappointing 6.0 IP, 11 H, 7 R, 6 ER, 0 BB, 8 K and 103 PI. While it is natural for players to need an adjustment period in a new team and league, MLB fans did not miss their opportunity to roast him."This dude sucks on and off the field," wrote one fan on Twitter. "Get ready to learn czech buddy," added another.Yakyu Cosmopolitan@yakyucosmoTrevor Bauer’s final line in his 2nd career NPB start6.0 IP, 11 H, 7 R, 6 ER, 0 BB, 8 K, 103 PICoughed up 3 home runs8419366Trevor Bauer’s final line in his 2nd career NPB start6.0 IP, 11 H, 7 R, 6 ER, 0 BB, 8 K, 103 PICoughed up 3 home runs https://t.co/FTmdx5KQosDevine Sports Gospel@DevineGospelWhere are all the Bauer apologists that cooked us for posting a video of him giving up a homer last week?This dude sucks on and off the field. twitter.com/yakyucosmo/sta…Yakyu Cosmopolitan@yakyucosmoTrevor Bauer’s final line in his 2nd career NPB start6.0 IP, 11 H, 7 R, 6 ER, 0 BB, 8 K, 103 PICoughed up 3 home runs273Trevor Bauer’s final line in his 2nd career NPB start6.0 IP, 11 H, 7 R, 6 ER, 0 BB, 8 K, 103 PICoughed up 3 home runs https://t.co/FTmdx5KQosWhere are all the Bauer apologists that cooked us for posting a video of him giving up a homer last week?This dude sucks on and off the field. twitter.com/yakyucosmo/sta…sighs@ItsSighsget ready to learn czech buddy twitter.com/yakyucosmo/sta…Yakyu Cosmopolitan@yakyucosmoTrevor Bauer’s final line in his 2nd career NPB start6.0 IP, 11 H, 7 R, 6 ER, 0 BB, 8 K, 103 PICoughed up 3 home runs102Trevor Bauer’s final line in his 2nd career NPB start6.0 IP, 11 H, 7 R, 6 ER, 0 BB, 8 K, 103 PICoughed up 3 home runs https://t.co/FTmdx5KQosget ready to learn czech buddy twitter.com/yakyucosmo/sta…Brenden™️@BrendenSTLGood I hope nothing but failure for him. twitter.com/yakyucosmo/sta…Yakyu Cosmopolitan@yakyucosmoTrevor Bauer’s final line in his 2nd career NPB start6.0 IP, 11 H, 7 R, 6 ER, 0 BB, 8 K, 103 PICoughed up 3 home runs2366Trevor Bauer’s final line in his 2nd career NPB start6.0 IP, 11 H, 7 R, 6 ER, 0 BB, 8 K, 103 PICoughed up 3 home runs https://t.co/FTmdx5KQosGood I hope nothing but failure for him. twitter.com/yakyucosmo/sta…Vernon Wilson@VernonDWilson@yakyucosmo Bauer getting knocked around will always be excellent news 48@yakyucosmo Bauer getting knocked around will always be excellent news 📰🎩 𝘾𝙝𝙤𝙥 𝘾𝙝𝙤𝙥 𝙍𝙪𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙩 🎩@ChopChopRupert@yakyucosmo @DOBrienATL Knew he liked it rough but damn961@yakyucosmo @DOBrienATL Knew he liked it rough but damnTrashman@Redbyrd2@yakyucosmo A well-earned downfall.19@yakyucosmo A well-earned downfall.Sons of Johnnie LeMaster@SonsofJohnnieLeGood to see the Giants roughing up Trevor Bauer 🏼 twitter.com/yakyucosmo/sta…Yakyu Cosmopolitan@yakyucosmoTrevor Bauer’s final line in his 2nd career NPB start6.0 IP, 11 H, 7 R, 6 ER, 0 BB, 8 K, 103 PICoughed up 3 home runs612Trevor Bauer’s final line in his 2nd career NPB start6.0 IP, 11 H, 7 R, 6 ER, 0 BB, 8 K, 103 PICoughed up 3 home runs https://t.co/FTmdx5KQosGood to see the Giants roughing up Trevor Bauer 👏🏼 twitter.com/yakyucosmo/sta…Jaymoe 🍌@Theymes3398@yakyucosmo Lmao you suck @BauerOutage41@yakyucosmo Lmao you suck @BauerOutagej u l i e@Lets86itYa love to see it twitter.com/yakyucosmo/sta…Yakyu Cosmopolitan@yakyucosmoTrevor Bauer’s final line in his 2nd career NPB start6.0 IP, 11 H, 7 R, 6 ER, 0 BB, 8 K, 103 PICoughed up 3 home runs111Trevor Bauer’s final line in his 2nd career NPB start6.0 IP, 11 H, 7 R, 6 ER, 0 BB, 8 K, 103 PICoughed up 3 home runs https://t.co/FTmdx5KQosYa love to see it twitter.com/yakyucosmo/sta…Trevor Bauer was one of the most notable pitchers in MLB until 2021. He had won almost everything there was to win for a pitcher since his debut with the Arizona Diamondbacks in 2012. However, his career was derailed when he was accused of sexually assaulting a woman in 2021.The following year, he was suspended by the MLB for two whole seasons after which he never returned to play in the US.After being released from his contract by the Dodgers at the beginning of the year, Trevor Bauer joined the Yokohama DeNA BayStars in the Nippon Professional Baseball League in Japan.Trevor Bauer confident in his ability to return to his best in the NPBBauer said that he kept himself ready to return to action during his absence and that he felt that he'd return to form in no time. However, that has not been the case so far.He made his return to the professional game after playing a few minor league games in Japan, but his latest performance shows that he's not back to his best yet. Only time will tell how his career in the NPB will turn out.
