Curveball:

On his 126th pitch of the night — the most for any pitcher this year and one shy of his career high — Bauer blew a 96-mph fastball by Mike Tauchman. He has thrown at least 113 pitches in a game four times this year, which also leads the Majors. Friday was his third straight game throwing at least that many pitches.

For over twenty years Jim Wagner has been working with pitchers of all ages. He currently runs his own pitching facility, Throwzone Academy in Los Angeles, California. Jim’s very first client was a 10-year-old named Trevor Bauer, who just this past year won the Cy Young award. In this episode, Jim talks about the age kids should start throwing curveballs, educating parents on pitch counts, and utilizing a radar gun and whiteboard for competition.

Assault:

Dodgers pitcher Trevor Bauer tried to shift attention to media and MLB after it was reported Thursday that some of the balls from Bauer’s start against the A’s on Wednesday were sent to MLB to be examined for sticky substances.

Bauer tweeted his responses to a story by The Athletic that said umpires collected multiple balls from the game after being alerted that they contained sticky substances. The Athletic report did not specify who alerted the umpires. It did note that MLB has assigned monitors to each team to check for possible cheating.

Court:

A Los Angeles County judge’s decision to reject a woman’s request for a permanent restraining order against Trevor Bauer didn’t surprise legal experts.

But it remains to be seen how the legal victory for the Dodgers pitcher will affect the ongoing criminal investigation into allegations that he assaulted her.

Batting stances:

Cleveland Indians pitcher Trevor Bauer decided to have a little fun during his at-bat in the top of the seventh inning against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday night. 

Gearing up for his third at-bat of the night, Bauer imitated three teammates’ batting stances: Mike Aviles, Jason Kipnis and Ryan Raburn. The announcers were loving the performance and looking forward to each pitch to see what came next.
