Los Angeles Dodgers: Trevor Bauer makes fan for life

Trevor Bauer is the type of player that baseball fans either love or hate. The Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher has seemingly mastered the art of self promotion, through his YouTube videos or his Twitter account. He is quirky, he is different, and he is himself.

But no matter what, Bauer has made a fan for life. The Dodgers reached out to the family of an 11 year old who had been bullied in both of his new schools, inviting him to come to spring training and meet Bauer.

Bauer also knows what Kanon has been going through. He too was bullied as a child, his different way of being making him a target. Now, with his success, he can help those who are also going through the same treatment.

He can also serve as an inspiration for Kanon and other bullied children. Bauer managed to rise above those that tormented him in his youth, becoming a star in the majors. He parlayed his impressive 2020 season into one of the richest contracts in terms of average annual value in baseball history.

Along the way, Bauer embraced those quirks. His pre-game routine is unlike any other in baseball, as is his training regimen and the way he looks at the game. He was one of the early proponents of DriveLine, and takes a very cerebral approach to his craft on the mound. His constant tinkering and experimentation have helped him become the star he is today.

With his stature, Bauer can use his platform to help others that have gone through bullying as he did. He is doing that with Kanon, taking the time to bring him to spring training and meet with him, to help give him the encouragement and knowledge that he has people on his side.
