Everyone has their hobbies. And Trevor Bauer, pitcher for the Cleveland Indians, likes to build racing drones. And anyone that has ever built racing drones know they need a lot of maintenance – manually installing and swapping out propellers, batteries etc.
But Bauer had a slight mishap while repairing one of his drones last Thursday – less than 48 hours before he was supposed to start in an ALCS game.
When he connected the battery pack to the drone one of the propellers started spinning at full throttle, and his pinkie finger on his pitching hand was in the way.
