A lot of teams, probably including the Mets, are going to be pursuing free-agent pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who starred in the Nippon League this season. However there is another star pitcher to consider signing who did well in Japan this year, and that would be a more controversial personality, Trevor Bauer.
We’ll start off looking at his pitching resume, then we will get into the off-field issues. Bauer was a stud this past season pitching for Yokahoma with an 11-6 record over a 156 IP season, with a 2.59 ERA and a WHIP figure of 1.13. He did not pitch anywhere in 2022 due to his suspension.
In 2021 with the Dodgers, he was 8-5 with a 2.59 ERA and a sparkling WHIP figure of 1.003. In 2020 he pitched for Cincinnati and he was dominant, with a 1.73 ERA and a microscopic WHIP of 0.795 in that Covid-shortened season. His great record that year resulted in a Cy Young award for him. The 32 year-old has a lifetime MLB ERA of 3.79, with a 1.243 WHIP.
