No One Expected Me To Win This…

[@satsuki0206]

Trevor Bauer was selected as the MVP of the month on July 11th, and on July 14th, he won the right to participate in the all-star game plus one vote with the highest number of votes ever. He has a difference of more than 300,000 votes from the players who participated in the WBC, and will be participating with the support of Japanese baseball fans and his Vlog registrants. Trevor Bauer is an indispensable figure in the Japanese baseball world, and he is greatly loved by those who love the Japanese professional baseball league.

[@Lewis-me7jr]

Thank you for supporting Trevor. Unfortunately, he still gets a lot of undeserved hate here in the states. It’s disgusting.

[@ThorshammrD]

I'm glad to see that Trevor has found such wonderful fans in Japan.

[@havanaradio]

Trevoru bawuru!

[@AstrosFan-wd5fg]

Thank you Japanese fans for supporting Trevor!

[@satsuki0206]

​@@Lewis-me7jr His hard work and fighting spirit are well received in Japan. At first, he struggled to adjust to Japanese baseball, but overcame it and achieved two complete games that captivated many. That's why he can participate in the All-Star Game with an overwhelming number of votes. Had the call to votes come sooner, he would have qualified on his first ballot.

[@jameshughes8522]

Anyone else notice that Trevor is becoming a better all around athlete? Stronger, faster, and much more coordinated. Japan is treating him well.

[@coreytrevor3910]

I think its because Japan seems way more hands off. The USA would have 10 guys with camera and clipboards going over every pitch. Here Trevor is able to do more of what he wants to do when he wants to do it. His training practices and throwing is all on his timetable and no one seems to care.

[@Skonchin]

A better all around athlete that no one in the MLB wants.

[@dhrt5577]

@@Skonchin Not because of how he plays though

[@Skonchin]

@@dhrt5577 if he was that good, his past conduct wouldn’t matter. He served his suspension. Face it, Trevor is past a prime that was never that impressive in the first place. I mean he can barely keep a low-90s fastball these days.

You’re clearly finding your groove, brother. We miss you here at home but I’m so happy to see you thriving over there. What an epic journey.

[@かいえ18]

Trevor literally gain a lot of fan bases in Japan regardless which team each fans supporting because we, Japanese, love pro players still have passion like baseball kids have.

[@ParaRob]

This is a great comment! I think some American adult fans still have that passion you speak of, but, unfortunately, a lot of American baseball fans thrive off of negativity, which is very toxic and, in my opinion, insufferable. The St. Louis Cardinals have a player who is retiring at the end of this year. His name is Adam Wainwright. He has played exceptionally well his whole career, but this year hasn't performed as well as the fans would like, and they have driven him off of social media from the negative comments. He is such a likable and good person and has the most competitive drive and hard work ethic, but some fans have chosen to drive him down instead of lift him up. I think those same attacks from some fans in America towards Trevor came in those couple of bad innings he had earlier in the season and people have counted him out because Americans are lazy and only look at one or two headlines from a small stretch to cast their judgement on someone. They don't have a passion for the game. They just have a passion for drama and negativity. I wish those fans didn't have as much of a voice as they do. I believe the passionate fan base in America still exists. They just don't get as much recognition as the fans who point out the negatives and complain about things. I respect and appreciate your and the rest of Japan's passion for the game, and I hope it can rub off on some American fans and let them find the fun and passion of the game again. Thank you for your comment! Best wishes! ✌️

[@danielcazares9700]

How do you watch the games?

[@morgantalbert7103]

I love the fact that Japanese Baseball let's their pitchers pitch complete games. It is Awesome!

[@yoshikurakino]

Mr. Bauer, Shima sushi in Nojima Park between Oppama Stadium in Yokosuka and Kanazawa Hakkei Station is also famous and delicious. I want you to go there when you are in the adjustment pitching 2nd team. Besides, it would be a shame not to visit Dobuita Street, home of the Maritime Self Defense Force and the US Navy's 7th Fleet in Yokosuka. You can board the battleship Mikasa at Mikasa Park, and you can go to Sarushima, which was location scouted in Laputa, in 10 minutes by boat. Yokosuka sightseeing is also recommended for locals. Please take Kamichatani and the others with you.

[@mrbrian12002]

Loving these vlogs... culture, gloves, breaking down pitches and performances everything for a baseball junkie that loves learning about different cultures

[@MrBabbm19]

I love hearing the fine tuning approach to pitching. Great for kids to understand how to utilize film to get better in practice.

[@brianbernard4237]

Got to try cheese gyosa while you’re there goes great with an Asai beer! 3 years in military stationed in Misawa Japan. Loved my time there, really enjoying your you tube work and think this is the future of baseball fans. Similar to US all star game where pitchers were mic’d- so cool

[@raddimusmcchoyber3362]

Another excellent video from Mr Bauer! I especially like the sections where he’s working out his mechanics, great little bit of insight.

[@CaptainRon1913]

Trevor, if you haven't already, read the Phil Knight book "Shoe Dog". Asics used to be Ontizuka shoes. First to come out with designed track shoes (Ontizuka Tiger). Phil Knight made them famous in the US before Nike. Great story.

[@BUNKERJR53]

Congratulations on being voted MVP and also being chosen as an All Star. You deserve it all my man. I wish you still played in the States but after the BS MLB put you through you made the right move. You have found a new home in Japan and a new outlook on life. I wouldn't blame you if you stayed there. I'm happy for you and wish you all the best. You are an amazing pitcher.

[@resetshadow8293]

Love you Trevor you are the reason I started playing baseball

[@briancheatham2436]

I was in Japan 4 years out of my 8 years in the Marine Corps. I loved it there. Amazing food and people

[@PapaDealt]

Was in Kyoto back in 1990, what an amazing place!!! When baseball is done you really should try and climb Mt Fuji! It is an amazing experience and definitely get the walking stick and stamp at every check point! Keep up the great Work...Love watching you.

[@yoshikurakino]

In principle, Yamanashi Prefecture and Shizuoka Prefecture, which manage Mt. Fuji, close the mountain every year in mid-September. In fact, it is possible to pass through, but it is not suitable for climbing Mt. Of course, the mountain cottages are not open in winter. Since the mountain is over 3000m above sea level, the temperature near the summit drops to 0°C in autumn and winter, and the road and mountain surface all change to ice. Snow mountain climbing equipment is essential for climbing Mt. Fuji in autumn and winter. In autumn and winter, the sunset time on the ground in Japan is around 16:30. Due to the physical strength, equipment, and experience of mountaineers in winter, it is difficult for non-experts to make a round trip from the 5th station, which is accessible by car, in half a day. There are many climbers who fall to their deaths every year. For details, please search with the keywords "富士山(Mt. Fuji)" and "滑落(Slide)".

[@PapaDealt]

@yoshikurakino yes it is a very difficult climb. I did it in June or July. I actually lived at the 3500ft of Mt Fuji for 3 1/2 years near Gotemba(sp). It is such a beauutiful and powerful force in the Japanes landscape and culture.

The best way to explain the Japanese architecture without using nails is like Lincoln Logs. They take time to carve out spaces for the joints to connect and interact without moving. Just like Lincoln logs fit in with each other in the joint areas

Hello. Bauer Congratulations on your monthly MVP. I am very proud and happy as a citizen of Yokohama supporting BayStars. On a different note, have you ever heard of a soccer team called Yokohama F. Marinos? Your friends Starman and Yasuaki also support this team, which is the most exciting team in Japan right now and plays fun games whether you buy or lose.
