Trevor Bauer has not pitched in a professional baseball game since June 28, 2021, so he is making some starts in Japan’s minor leagues before he can make his professional debut overseas. Bauer allowed one earned on two hits and a walk before exiting a game in the sixth inning after 77 pitches while punching out two. He was designated for assignment by the Los Angeles Dodgers after serving a suspension for sexual assault allegations. Despite being shunned by Major League Baseball, fans were spotted with his BayStars jersey in his first minor league start. Bauer was hit with a 324-game suspension, the equivalent of two full seasons, that was then reduced to 194.
