Diamondbacks' Trevor Bauer out of running for rotation spot
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. - One of baseball's top prospects,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Trevor Bauer, is out of the running for a spot in the Arizona Diamondbacks' starting rotation,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but he's still making his spring training starts.
His latest outing came Tuesday against a San Francisco Giants team that ran out what could very well be their opening day lineup. Bauer was supposed to go four innings,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but he gave up runs in each of the first two innings and went only three frames, allowing those two runs and six hits,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], while striking out two.
"It was like everything sucks today so flip a coin,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], pick (a pitch) and hope they don't hit it out of the park,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," Bauer said. "It was a little bit of a struggling control wise. I've had four outings now and this was probably the worst."
Bauer fell behind more than he'd like, but the Giants hit only one ball hard against him and he broke a few bats, two that fell for hits.
For the spring, Bauer, last June's third overall pick, has pitched 10 innings over four outings, while allowing four earned runs,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], striking out nine with one walk allowed. Not bad for a guy who has thrown just 25 2/3 innings in pro baseball.
Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson said last week Josh Collmenter, who was solid last season but has been bad this spring (14.14 ERA in three spring starts), would be the team's fifth starter, leaving out Bauer,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who will likely be assigned to the minors before the team breaks camp.
Wherever he is,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Bauer's progress will be as closely monitored as the yoga stretches and foul pole-to-foul pole throws he does before every start. Those things,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], along with him using a crow hop to fire the ball to the catcher as hard as he can on the first warm-up pitch of every inning,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], will make him a show as well as a quality pitcher.
Bauer is still learning,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], tinkering with mechanics and trying to work out kinks in certain pitches like burying his curveball when he's ahead in the count, something he called "very frustrating." But overall,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], his first big league spring training has been a success to this point.
"I'm throwing a lot more strikes, and quality strikes at that,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," Bauer said. "I'm pleased. I haven't given up a lot of hard-hit balls,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but there are still plenty of areas where I can improve.
"I've learned a lot, gotten to face some high-quality hitters and I'm definitely a better pitcher now than I was four outings ago. Nothing wrong with that, right?"
