Although he has been beaten up in two consecutive games… Big-name assistant Bauer “shopping date” with “beautiful agent” photo.
Will Bauer, who was battered in two consecutive games, ever recover? Or will he return to the U.S. in mid-season to pursue that woman…?
Trevor Bauer, 32, is a superstar assistant pitcher for the Yokohama DeNA BayStars. He won the Cy Young Award in 2008, the highest honor for pitchers in the major leagues, and his entry into the Japanese baseball world has been a top topic in baseball. Bauer’s move to DeNA was made possible by his agent, Rachel Luba, 30, who is an American woman.
She started her own agent company in ’19 and is said to be the youngest certified female agent in MLB history. When Bauer joined the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2009, she put together a contract worth $40 million, the highest annual salary of all time. As a former gymnast, Bauer’s good looks are also a topic of conversation, as she shows off her toned and sexy body in a swimsuit on social networking sites. At Bauer’s press conference for joining DeNA, his good looks along with his background and skills attracted the attention of the press, and he became the talk of the town as “an MLB agent who is too beautiful.
When the two came to Japan before the season opener, they reported on the streets of Japan and went shopping on each other’s YouTube channel. This magazine also caught a glimpse of the two on a night in late March, when they strolled around Yokohama City together. On a night in early April, they enjoyed shopping at a department store in Yokohama.
Mr. Luba is from Los Angeles, like Bauer, and the two have known each other since their college days. They are close in age and both single. Rumors have surfaced many times among local fans that the two are dating, but reports say they are just ‘old friends.
However, Mr. Luba returned to the U.S. in early April. Bauer spent the season without Luba, but in his first appearance on May 3, he pitched a dominant game and won his first game. In a post-game interview,
Yokohama is the only team that can win!
he exclaimed with a confident look on his face. However, he lost the next two games in a row, giving up 14 runs in 8 innings of work.
He was hit for a .417 batting average in three games with his knuckle curve, which is considered his signature pitch, although he has not lost any of his speed or control compared to his MLB days. It is as if he is being hit completely on target, and perhaps he is being detected for his quirks.
Sportswriter Nachi Tomonari says so. There have been many MLB players who joined a Japanese baseball team with great fanfare, but returned to their home countries soon after without producing any results.
Bauer was suspended in July 2009 after a woman in California accused him of sexual assault. He was eligible to start the season this year, but the Dodgers released him as ‘not a suitable team member. At the very least, no team will hire him if he returns to the United States. Bauer has a desire to return to the MLB, no matter what it takes, with a good record in Japan and an exemplary attitude. He has no choice but to produce results.”
DeNA is currently second in the league (as of May 21). Bauer’s help is essential for the team to win the championship.
