Trevor Bauer cannot keep himself out of the spotlight on social media. The former National League Cy Young Award winner has not pitched in Major League Baseball since 2021 in the wake of sexual assault allegations against him. Although he was cleared of any criminal wrongdoing, he still has yet to secure another MLB deal.

That being said, this has not stopped him from pitching professionally or remaining active on social media. In fact, at this point of his career, Trevor Bauer might be better known for his presence on social media as opposed to actually pitching.

From viral at-bat challenges to hot takes on the latest baseball news, Bauer has grown a steady following on social media thanks to his posts.

Trevor Bauer has returned to Japan to pitch this season

Despite a strong season pitching in the Mexican League in 2024, Bauer was unable to secure a contract with any Major League Baseball team. Instead, Bauer signed a one-year deal to return to the Yokohama BayStars, the team he pitched for in 2023.

While the level of competition is viewed as stronger than in Mexico, the former Cincinnati Reds ace might have to prove himself to be healthy and ready before he can contribute for his new club.

According to Gaijin Baseball on X, Bauer has been removed from the BayStars roster and will set out on a rehab assignment, which will keep him away until at least April 10.
