Trevor Bauer is coming home to join the Dodgers, back with family, friends and fans who saw him blossom as a pitcher at Newhall Hart High and UCLA. He refused to settle for being ordinary and aimed to be the best of the best by using an exceptional work ethic to pursue his passion, according to those who watched him mature.
It showed in his pursuit to perfect pitch after pitch and develop throwing techniques and routines some scoffed at during his teenage years. He’d spend summers in searing 95-degree heat working on his craft at a Texas baseball camp.
