The Los Angeles Dodgers responded to a mother who shared a message on social media about her son’s birthday and bullying incidents over the past year to invite them to Camelback Ranch for Spring Training and a meeting with Trevor Bauer.
Although Megan Aronson did not tag the Dodgers or Bauer, her message resonated with the 2020 National League Cy Young Award winner. Bauer has openly discussed being bullied and mocked not only as a child but even a professional.
Bauer’s analytically-driven approach to pitching has become more commonplace now, but it wasn’t long ago that his training techniques were largely dismissed by the industry.
