VIDEO: Trevor Bauer is Now Just Telling Batters What He's Throwing
Trevor Bauer was pretty furious about the Houston Astros' sign-stealing scandal. Apparently the Cincinnati Reds' ace come up with a new way to combat it: he's just telling batter what he's throwing.
During a spring training game against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Monday, Bauer just straight up indicated which pitch he was throwing to opposing batters.
Check this out:
"He's gonna start telling batters what's coming. ... It's just here it comes, try to hit it."

During an interview in the dugout, teammate Derek Dietrich explained that Bauer was so upset about the sign-stealing scandal that he's just decided to indicate what he's throwing to hitters and his catcher. There's no need for a complex system to steal his signs, he's basically eliminated the middle man.
