I have one card of Trevor Bauer, from 2013 Panini Prizm.
Playing career: Trevor Bauer was the Diamondbacks #1 draft
choice in 2011, and made his major league debut the following year, going 1-2
with a 6.06 ERA in four starts.
My memories: I had heard of this guy – he does 400 foot long
tosses that he learned to do at UCLA, which did not go over well in Arizona.
Interesting facts: Bauer has recorded some rap music, to overwhelmingly negative reviews. A song called “You Don’t Know Me” was supposedly directed at Diamondbacks catcher Miguel Montero, who the raw rookie feuded with
in his brief time in Arizona.
Where he is now: Tired of Bauer’s attitude, the Diamondbacks
traded him to the Indians before the 2013 season. Despite being with a new
team, his numbers were almost a carbon copy of what he did in Arizona. In four
starts with Cleveland, he went 1-2 with a 5.29 ERA. Basically, he allowed one
fewer earned run in .2 fewer innings.
Coming up next: The next profile will be Kevin Belcher.
