Former NL Cy Young Award Winner Trevor Bauer Signs with BayStars

Bauer, who made his MLB debut with the Arizona Diamondbacks in 2012, has a career record of 83-69 with a 3.79 ERA with 1,416 strikeouts in 1,297⅔ innings (222 games). The North Hollywood, California, native hasn't pitched in MLB since June 2021, his first season with the Los Angeles Dodgers.

MLB placed Bauer on leave in July 2021 after allegations of sexual assault had been made against him by a California woman and while an investigation into the matter was ongoing.

In April 2022, MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred handed Bauer a 324-game, two-year suspension without pay for violating the league's domestic violence and sexual assault policy. Bauer has denied the allegations.
