There are plenty of different names Trevor Bauer can be called, one of which is a showman. The former National League Cy Young Award winner might not have played in Major League Baseball since 2021 but has kept himself relevant in the baseball community.

One of the ways the former Los Angeles Dodgers superstar has accomplished it has been by remaining interesting and active on social media. Trevor Bauer has amassed a sizable following on social media, thanks to his entertaining posts and videos, as well as sharing his mind without a filter.

In recent videos, Trevor Bauer has been showcasing his custom made gloves he has been using with the Yokohama DeNA BayStars of NPB. After promoting the gloves and sharing all the details that make them special, Bauer put his money where his mouth is.

In one of his recent games, one of Trevor Bauer's opponents launched a line drive back at the mound, but his glove held up, and he made the catch without any damage or injury.

"I threw a cutter outside of the zone, and what happens next? That ball was headed straight for my face. I didn't dodge it. I didn't move. The glove made the play before I even realised the danger I was in. I've spent months developing this glove to perform under pressure, and in that moment, it delivered," Bauer said in his social media post.

For fans of the former Cincinnati Reds ace, the custom made gloves are available on Bauer's website for purchase. While the gloves might cost a pretty penny, they aren't only unique and limited editions, they are made of high-quality materials and loaded with special connections and logos of the former MLB All-Star.


Trevor Bauer has been struggled at times in his first season back in Japan

Bauer was tremendous last season in the Mexican League, earning the Pitcher of the Year Award and the title. The 34-year-old was hoping to parlay that success into another MLB contract. While he was unable to secure a deal with an MLB club, he signed a one-year deal with his former NPB club.

It has been an inconsistent season for the former Cy Young Award winner, who has posted a 1-3 record with a 3.48 ERA and 31 strikeouts over 31.0 innings of work. If he can improve his numbers, his name will undoubtedly be brought again next MLB offseason.
