Polarizing starter Trevor Bauer has continued to perform at an elite level following his 2020 NL Cy Young season. The Dodgers paid top dollar for the 30-year-old this winter ($102M/3), and they’re receiving top shelf performance.
For the season, Bauer is fourth in both WHIP (0.77) and strikeout rate (36.2%) amongst starters through Saturday. He also ranks third in BAA (.140) and eighth in ERA (1.98).
Bauer Going Deep
Equally as important, Bauer has provided plenty of length in each of his starts, sans an early May debacle against the Cubs.
