Trevor Bauer made his 10th start of season for the Cincinnati Reds on Sunday. Overall he allowed five runs in 7.0 innings, walked no one, and struck out eight batters. His ERA currently sits at 6.39 with the Reds. That is less than ideal and certainly not what the organization was hoping for when they acquired him.
The Reds have probably gotten some of what they thought that they would. Trevor Bauer has struck out hitters at an elite rate since joining Cincinnati. He’s fanned 27.5% of the batters. That’s down a fraction of a percent from his rate in Cleveland this year when he had a 27.
