Who I Am: Trevor Bauer, From UCLA to the Majors
I'm Trevor Bauer, a right-handed pitcher. This store carries my merch, so here's a short look at where it all started.
Where did I grow up?
I was born on January 17, 1991, in the Los Angeles area. I went to William S. Hart High School in Santa Clarita, California, and from there I went on to pitch at UCLA.
What happened at UCLA?
In 2011 I won the Golden Spikes Award, given to the best amateur baseball player in the country, and the College Baseball Foundation's National Pitcher of the Year Award.
How did I get to the majors?
A few highlights from that first stretch:
- The draft: the Arizona Diamondbacks took me with the third overall pick of the 2011 MLB Draft.
- The debut: I made my major league debut for Arizona on June 28, 2012.
- The trade: that December I was traded to Cleveland in a three-team, nine-player deal, and the next chapter began.
What do I bring to the mound?
I'm known for a big repertoire of pitches, for using a high-speed camera to study them, and for long-toss warm-ups before I pitch. That approach to the game is what the designs in this store come out of.
Where does the merch come in?
Every design here comes from baseball: the mound, the field and the Bauer Outage logo. Each one comes on tees, long sleeves, crewnecks and hoodies, with kids' and youth sizes too, and every product page has its own size chart.
