Trevor Bauer takes jab at critics after throwing Ducks no-hitter: 'So washed'
Key Points:
- Trevor Bauer, a former MLB Cy Young Award winner, threw a seven-inning no-hitter for the Long Island Ducks in his second start with the Atlantic League team, leading to a 13-0 victory over the Lancaster Stormers.
- Bauer posted a self-deprecating message on social media, seemingly addressing critics who doubted his abilities after his return to professional baseball in the U.S.
- This no-hitter made Bauer the third player in Ducks history to achieve the feat, following Rod Henderson in 2001 and Robert Stock in 2023.
- Bauer is attempting a major league comeback after a 194-game suspension in 2022 related to sexual assault allegations, which he denies and was never criminally charged for; he has played professionally in Mexico and Japan since then.
- In a recent vlog, Bauer noted the positive fan support and lack of protests during his return to pitching in the U.S., countering expectations of backlash.
