The Dodgers have mostly got what they expected out of Trevor Bauer after signing him to a record deal in the offseason. He leads the team in starts with 17 (MLB leader, tied with Clayton Kershaw), innings pitched with 107.2 (MLB leader), and in strikeouts with 137 (MLB leader).
If you can pencil that into your starting rotation, you’re taking it 10 times out of 10.
But, if there’s one place to nitpick with Bauer, it’s his struggles with the long ball. The right-hander has now served up 19 home runs in 2021, second most in baseball.
