It’s Been Two Years Since I’ve Done This 

20:40 After receiving advice on how to throw sweeper from Bauer, Shinichi Onuki pitched 7 scoreless innings with no hits, no walks, and 6 strikeouts in a minor league game. Bauer is the perfect mentor.

Trevor is the kind of guy to track his metrics on foam ball cannon accuracy.

Eric is the best kind of friend. The kind who pushes you to greatness and isn't impressed with anything 😂😂

About 5-10 years ago, I never thought I’d say “Trevor Bauer is one of my favorite RU-vidrs” Keep up the good work, playing in Japan has to be an absolute dream❤

Some long-winded language notes about gloves: The normal Japanese word for "glove" is 手袋 (てぶくろ/tebukuro) which uses the kanji (Chinese characters) for "hand" and "bag." But because it's a baseball glove and it's associated with foreign culture, "baseball glove" uses the English word "Glove" usually written in Katakana as "グラブ/gurabu" since Japanese doesn't have a schwa vowel sound like "love" or "the" and doesn't distinguish between Vs and Bs in foreign loan words. Google probably translated "gurabu" as "grab" rather than glove because it's closer to the actual pronunciation. Sometimes it'll be written as "グローブ/guro-bu," which google would probably translate as "globe."

Dear Trevor, You have a rice cooker in your apartment. (29:16) Love, Your Agent

As a Japanese American, I’m so stoked that Bauer is giving this a go. Learn the language and just be a good person. That’s all you can do I’m rooting for you! 頑張ってください❗️

8:39 on “Grab” vs. “Glove”. These are what we call “Katakana Words” where we mimic the sounds of foreign words with Japanese characters. This is why words that did not originally exist in Japanese such as Tomato is トマト (To-ma-to). The interesting thing with these words is the fact that it’s based on how they interpreted it back then, which results in interesting cases like the word “White” in English being ホワイト (Ho-wa-i-to) because whomever heard that word back in the days heard it that way. It’s a similar case for the word “Glove”. This word was commonly pronounced/written as グローブ (Gu-ro-o-bu) initially. However, in 1998 the NHK Pronunciation Accent Dictionary, which most TV broadcasters base their pronunciation, decided to use グラブ (Gu-ra-bu) as their interpretation of the English word “Glove”. To adapt to this most manufacturers now use the word グラブ instead, but since the Japanese pronunciation of グラブ sounds more like “Grab” than “Glove”, you encounter this slight difference in translation.

I thought MLB clubs and Rob Manfred made a really stupid call on not giving Trevor a chance to return to the major, but now I am actually loving this, maybe God of baseball sent Trevor to Japan so we are so blessed to see a really talented player's life and career in both American and Japanese leagues. Love these videos and really look forward to his career in NPB as successful as in MLB

I miss watching Trevor in the MLB but this experience in Japan is amazing and is proving to be a huge blessing in disguise.

thanks for coming to JPN! we really appreciate it! hope you the best of luck!:)

how crazy watching el gran Elvis Escobar of cardenales de Lara in Venezuela my hometown's team favourite pitcher with my favourite pitcher from the US in my favourite team in Japan,AMAZING!!!!

Trevor, I’m not a baseball player but you have made me an Baystar’s fan! And I’m totally digging your style and your approach towards life. I’m Japanese who grew up in the states (who now lives in Yokosuka, Kanagawa. next city to Yokohama). I teach and coach swimming at the us naval base in Yokosuka. We are both involved in different sports but I respect your professionalism. Thank you for being great ambassador from America. To me, Both USA and Japan are home county and you have made me proud of both cultures. And Japanese people loves you!

横浜ベイスターズのファンです 日本に来てくれてありがとう 勝利おめでとうございます 良い１年になりますように 応援してます

In my opinion, the vlog is way better now than it was while he was in the MLB. I loved the blog before but now I get to learn about Japan, Japanese baseball, see the differences, see the excitement of the fans and other players. This is great!

I love how Mr. Bauer has meshed with his teammates, coaching staff, etc. He appears genuinely happy to be in Japan, which is not always the case with foreign players who have moved to NPB. Some foreign players go to Japan and never integrate themselves with their teammates or even make an attempt to enjoy the local culture. They make a bubble about themselves rejecting any Japanese influence, and by and large, appear miserable or at least disinterested while playing there. After watching all of Mr. Bauer's Japan videos, I am very impressed about how he and his agent have gone above and beyond trying to integrate themselves into the entire experience, not only the hard work and dedication required to be a professional player (training, culture integration, and voluntary fan interactions), but also their videos showing them out and about in Yokohama and Tokyo. Mr. Bauer's critique of the sporting goods store was especially interesting. There were two moments in previous videos that really stuck out to me. First, Mr. Bauer gave a shout-out to a US Navy sailor who was close to transferring back stateside whom he met (meant a lot to me because I served in the US Navy at Yokosuka Naval Base from 1995-2005). Second, a young boy traveled with his father all the way from the states to see Mr. Bauer play. Mr. Bauer actually came out of the team facility to meet the boy and speak with him. Both examples show class! I wish you great success on and off field and I hope you enjoy your time in Japan.

I haven’t followed baseball in years and this channel has renewed my interest for sure

This is the greatest baseball channel of all time. This is so enlightening, and I have absolutely loved watching Trevor grow as a human

I don't buy into the extreme analytics so much but, holy cow! It's interesting hearing him break things down like this. I almost feel like I understand what he's talking about. lol

19:29　Thank you for teaching your young teammate Ohnuki (大貫#16) how to throw the slider.Many Japanese people respect you！😊😊😊

I watched the game today. He got hit today, but the season is still long. Please keep up the good work! As a Japanese, I was happy that Bauer came to Japan.I am rooting for you !!!!

This is the most meaningful, in-depth behind-the-scenes thing on NPB and baseball in general out there....and Eric's reaction to the bunt 😄

4:42 One Piece's third opening, Hikari E playing on the background

It is amazing to me how technical an MLB player goes through to even understand himself. I love learning this side of a major leaguer!

Ive never seen a pitcher who works so hard to perfect his craft. Amazing honesty when he isnt 100%, just sees ways to improve. Loved the video brother, i cheered at the end of it. From your fans in Toronto Ontario Canada!!

The coolest portion of this video was teaching your teammate how to improve his sweeper, absolutely loved that! Just show much you love the game and care about the performance of everyone around you!

日本の野球にたいして真剣に取り組んでるのが伝わってきて嬉しい 他球団ファンだけど応援します

No politics, just baseball. I have not enjoyed anything about baseball so much in years. I am going to have to figure out how to get Japanese baseball.

June in Japan is the rainy season When it ends, it will be extremely hot and humid. Better prepare for that.

Welcome to YOKOHAMA DeNA BAYSTARS🎉 I went to Yokohama stadium on 3rd May. You are very nice pitcher. Yokohamashikakatan❤

Having lived in Yokohama for a few years and spending a lot of time in the Minato Mirai area, watching this brings so much nostalgia! Great to watch Trevor play in Japan, as an NPB follower this is the best thing to ever happen!

I can't imagine being so gifted in pitching and blessed to have a fresh start in a journey across the world.

Hey Trevor! I randomly ran into you at an Southwest gate last year, I was wearing an Astros Space City hat. So random I had just caught up on your youtube videos. Really happy to see ya pitch again.

6:30ケツメイシの涙がバックミュージックかい😂

MLB doesn’t deserve you. No matter where you play I’ll be a huge fan. Btw- you did your job moving the runner to 2nd with your bunt. Great job!

I watched the full game and the energy the crowd brings to these games is so amazing. You had a great first outing for the Baystars and can't wait to see your next start.

This video will make a big impact on Japanese young NPB pitchers. This give us big lesson and how to analyze pitching mechanics. I’ve never watched such a sophisticated video. I hope young boys will choose to play baseball and it contributes to NPB future Trever Bauer hopes,too.

I love that despite the language barrier you and your teammates are still on the same page playing the sport you love.

The irony of Yamasaki's gift and the US media trying to cause controversy about the celebration. Japanese baseball is all about the love for the game while the US is all about pointless drama.

To be precise, "Yokohama shika katan" would be "The only winner here is Yokohama" or "Only Yokohama wins". Your wealth of knowledge will be well utilized at Baystars. I do hope you will stay on for a while, but even if it's just this year, you will be leaving a great legacy there.

Even though I don’t play anymore or even watch many mlb games, I really enjoy listening to Trevor breaking down pitch mechanics and going through all the metrics and what they reflect.

I believe your strength is flexibility in thinking and you can adjust NPB. I wish your success and cheer you up. Put forth your strength!

There are many non-Japanese people who have come to watch MLB again after learning about Shohei Ohtani, right? USA People may not believe it, but there are many Japanese people watching baseball for the first time in a long time since Bauer came to Japan. So please. USA mass media and baseball officials, please stop Bauer's negative campaign. USA mass media and baseball officials, please stop Bauer's negative campaign. In the case of Yasuaki Yamazaki the other day, he didn't say anything bad about Bauer. Yasuaki Yamazaki is just telling the team and official staff to respect and respect other teams and players! All the podcast staff who spread that lie should apologize to Bauer and Yasuaki Yamazaki!😡🤬

So glad to see him smiling so much

You seem pretty happy out there, I'm glad. I think I will put "attend a Japanese baseball game" on my bucket list.

That was really cool for Trevor to work with the pitcher on his sweeper. This is the best baseball RU-vid around. Outstanding, Trevor!

Congratulations Trevor on your first start and first win - I watched and you pitched great and your bunt gave your team the go ahead run - overall an outstanding performance - this video was very entertaining and insightful, thank you! GO TREVOR SAN GO!!!! GO YOKOHAMA GO!!!!

火曜日は楽しみにしてるぜ！ 目指せno-hit、No-run！！！！

Cleveland "Indians" fan, love watching your videos. I have a friend that lives out in Yokohama. Wish your finger stopped bleeding like your nose did...before the game!!!!

Congratulations on your successful NPBL debut, TB...you've made every post a winner. From helping your team mates with their technique, embracing Japanese culture to absolutely shoving!! I could not be happier for you, well done

I love that Trevor helps another pitcher to throw another pitch. That's great.

Cool seeing him give Ohnuki some input on his Slider and/or Sweeper. Always love to see somebody being a good teammate, and also demonstrating his knowledge and passion for pitching.

Looks like an all star game with all the festivities....Japan is awesome!

If you do make it back to MLB one day playing either with the GIANTS, BRAVES (2 of my favourite teams), or the REDS (Reds depending if I'm in Cincy), I'll be there for you Trevor as a fan. Really impress with how things are unfolding for you in Japan.

FYI. May 9th game vs Tokyo Giants at Niigata is also a good game to make an impression as Niigata is where the DeNA Group President is from.

It is such a pleasure watching you throw here in Yokohama. The Baystars haven't won a title for 25yrs...Please end this drought🙏

I like how Trevor and his teammate had a moment holding the bears like a puppy.

love seeing people helping each other improve, keep up the good work

Tell Taisei Irie, Ryosuke Miyaguni, Totoni, and your pitching coach Yota, Tillman Pugh said hello. I played with them in Australia 🇦🇺

I watched Trevor's Japanese debut game on May 3rd on BS TV, so I really enjoyed this video. The Japanese translation subtitles appear with a bit of a delay, but after changing the device, the symptoms improved. I'm looking forward to next one.

These are my favorite videos to watch on RU-vid right now. I never knew how much different the NPB is. Love the content!

This is far and beyond the best content on RU-vid right now

These videos are what makes me keep going throughout the week

Loved the little dig in at the Max Scherzer suspension lol.

this is so cool to watch.

That pitching lesson with the slider was so really cool!

Trevor Bauer needs to be a MLB pitching coach when he retires. He is so analytical it's awesome. He does more.for the game of baseball than any other human being! Love ya man! Keep killing it! Free Trevor Bauer now! Lift small bunt the ball😂

I love these long vlogs! Only thing I’ve been watching on RU-vid lately:)

Fav part was helping he teammate

i was able to catch his debut game, all the fans loved him, the last ab vs the pinch hitter was SO GOOD. All you could hear was "Bauer!" chant over and over.

I'm looking forward to the next game in Niigata on 9 May!

Trevor, bro, I got tears watching this I'm in my early 40s & I've followed your journey close since your first season pitching for UCLA. I will never forget your dirty sweat stained faded dashboard hats haha Thanks for always standing up for everything that you believe in & for always appreciating your chances. That is a very rare thing these days. Thanks for helping some of us baseball freaks get through the whole co(n)vid lockdown tyranny we faced, but most importantly thanks for sharing your journies & knowledge. So happy seeing you being appreciated by hardcore fans. Thanks, Japanese fans, for giving Trevor the appreciation he deserves

Loving the glove reviews! I understand the sentimental value you’ve assigned to the wagyu JB. We as fans of your channel feel the same! You need to show the reaction from the lucky fan who receives that orange glove!

Great job, that was a solid game!! I only got to watch the first three innings on the stream because that is all they gave us, but it was awesome to get to see you play!! On a side note, seeing Eric's reaction to your bunt was laugh out loud funny! 🙂

The mlb needs Bauer back glad he likes Japan

Next game is tuesday at Niigata,vs Tokyo Giants. I can't wait to watch the game😊

Incredible vlog!!!

tough game vs the Giants. Going to post a recap about it?

The session with your teammate is just genius. So crazy that you know what to look for, how to adjust it and the technique to do so. You said you want to give kids an inspiration to play ball, you’re living up to it. You’re a stud bro. Happy to have you a part of the game.

When I tell you what, watching these videos just give me a warm feeling. I love these vlogs

Yes!!! Awesomeness!! Loved the interview in the stands and your RU-vidr answer. I grew up in a small town 5hrs away from nearest MLB team. Could never dream of having access like this or even meeting a player. And at best an autograph. You taking us along with you is very important and I love it.

Trevor always hit the mound with energy, and bring so many great contents to the fans, no matter what league he’s playing in. That’s why he’s my favorite player.

I'll be liking every video and commenting on them as well from now going forward. Trevor has easily become my favorite ball player over the past few years, and he's actually getting me interested in baseball again. I haven't watched in over 10 years, but I can't wait to watch his future starts with the BayStars!

everything about baseball there seems like a whole vibe, they have so much more fun with it than here in the states.

Hey Trevor. Love your content and congrats on your big league win. Been amazing watching you adjust to diff lifestyle and your usual in-depth sharing of the game. I’ve been super surprised on the stadium / fan experience, big thank you for sharing that with us too!

Trevor, you are a great player and a great statesman. It's wonderful to see how welcoming and friendly Japan is. I'm very happy for you.

This RU-vid channel is one of my favorites. I love baseball, and my favorite pitch type is the screwball, & knuckleball and it's a shame this pitch is dying from baseball, I think Trevor Bower should be the one to bring it back

@Trevor Bauer your RU-vid has literally brought me back to baseball n the love of the most beautiful game. You make baseball so awesome 👌. Keep it up and keep inspiring. 💪

You can tell Bauer loves it in Japan…deserves all the love

Loved the sweeper session with the other pitcher. Your knowledge on physics is insanely valuable to anyone who listens.

I loved how you shared tips with your teammate to work in his pitches. Thank you for this insight!

Awesome job. Got into your stuff from Eric’s channel and instantly became a fan. Keep up the good work. I’m now starting to save a lot of money to go out and watch you pitch. Really glad to see a star pitcher play again.

It’s mind blowing to me why ur not in the mlb right now. Grew up in NYS and have been a Yankee fan for 30 years. But still have always followed your career. You’re one of my favorite players. I’m glad you are still pitching. It’s what you were meant to do bro.

I love your videos man, thank you for everything!

You make some of my favourite content right now, always look forward to ur next upload. Loved seeing how you helped your teammate with his slider was so incredibly insightful.

I’m Japanese living in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. I follow MLB with the MLB app and NPB on RU-vid. I really enjoy watching your videos on Japan because they show my country from a totally different viewpoint. About glove and grab, you might’ve noticed by now, but most Japanese cannot hear the difference between L and R. Lice and Rice are the same, and if a Japanese start talking about Erection with a serious face, he/she is most likely talking about Election…😂

trevor keep it u man all your true fans are rooting for you forever! love to see u prosper man

Brother I appreciate what you do with these youtube videos. The insights from when you where in the states to now in Japan from the club house, different stadiums, to how everything works being a professional ball play. But the best thing you do is showing the insights on training and how to be a better pitcher. If I had this type of insights to when I was in high school no telling how I would have ended up. I went and played in college but couldn't stay healthy. The things you are doing on here I hope kids or parents are watching.

I think we can all agree that this page is the best vlog series out of any sports vlog platform. Baseball has so much down time and Trevor takes advantage of the down time to teach. Him being a player and myself being somone that works on the other side producing live sports/entertainment tv. People don’t realize the day to day we go through. I created a series teaching everyone about the broadcast side of sports and I love seeing Trevor take advantage of the down time he has to teach a day in the life. Also I will stick to the media getting access to the locker rooms in America. Not sure why Japan doesn’t do that either. Maybe because of the dirt/shoe rule Trevor talked about! What Trevor is making is better tv then any other sports program in the world. Thank you Trevor, miss seeing you walk around dodger stadium with you.

13:56 I’m guessing your talking about the max scherzer ejection.
