I Played Baseball With My Eyes Closed

Trevor my son lost his right eye to cancer as a child, hes currently 17 throws 85/86 plays first and batted 377 during travel season. Class of 2024. I wish you still had the one eye shirts so i can get him. He really looks up to all of your teachings and techniques to be a better pitcher!

My husband was blind. He lost his sight later in life. He was an engineer so if you told him what angle to hit a golf ball playing mini golf or hit the cue ball playing pool, he could do it with remarkable accuracy. He was also very determined to not be limited by his blindness. (I miss him) Thanks Trevor for your vlogs, your thoughtfulness, and a tremendous baseball and culture education!

Loved baseball my whole life. Lost my left eye at 8 years old and did pretty good until high school and could not see curveballs so struggled hitting. Could not move on from there as my batting average was not great. I always remember Kirby Puckett lost sight in one eye and had to retire. Thanks for the content.

Hey Trevor, probably don’t remember me from playing HS baseball against each other (Went to Golden Valley ) But freak accident but lost my vision in my left high my JR of college and never told scouts. Manage to get drafted and pitched 6 years ins in the minors couple years in AA and even rule 5’d without telling anymore. Playing catch and trying to bunt in the upper levels was so hard lol scariest was catching flat grounds. Pretty cool seeing you bring his story to light. Keep doing your thing - Chipper Smith

It's crazy if you watched or listened to American media talk about Trevor you'd swear he was being shunned by his teammates and booed by the crowd lol

Hey Trev, I don’t know if you will read this but you were a significant factor in me choosing to study physics at ucla because of how much you can apply what you learned to your profession and everyday life. You still are an influencer and role model to lots of people in America, despite the American media

It is very meaningful for Japanese baseball that you came to Japan. I respect your passion, fighting spirit and sincerity for baseball. Many Japanese people who saw your anger in the match took it in a favorable light. I will continue to support you. Thank you for coming to Japan.

One of the best things about having Trevor here in Japan is how he is rubbing off on all the pitchers around him. According to the pitching coach at Yokohama, they all look up to Trevor and take his words with great reverence. And it shows. After a spectacular display of emotional complete game start by Trevor on July 6th, stopping a losing streak; his teammate Shota Imanaga started on July 7th and threw an masterful 15K game with a similar fiery display of emotion, and he credited Trevor with imparting advice on how to get his pitch velocity up.

Oh and one more thing - people in the States would have no idea how much Trevor is LOVED here in Japan, not only by the Baysters fan, but also by the other teams’ fans.

Bauer was crushed by the American media, but I'm glad to see he's doing well in Japan.

5:43 Holy thunderbolt⚡️⚡️⚡️ The Pokémon gear is SICK!! The batting helmet my goodness is so great!

NPB average attendance is related to stadium capacity. The home stadium of the Hanshin Tigers has a capacity of about 47,400. The BayStars have a capacity of 32,170 at home, but the difference is stark and the best way to know how popular a team is is by attendance. By the way, the BayStars' spectator attendance rate is 90.82%, which is the highest among all NPBs, and is second only to the top Phillies in the growth of the average number of spectators per game in world baseball. It is so popular that it sells out almost every game at its home stadium, Yokohama Stadium. The support of the fans is also very exciting, and there is a sense of presence. Due to the locality of Yokohama, many fans from overseas visit every game to a packed stadium, so if you come to Japan, please make a plan to support the BayStars at Yokohama Stadium.

I love the cuts to Trevor's teammates dancing for his camera. 😆 Good atmosphere around dem boys.

You made it to the NPB All-Star Last One Selection. Looking forward to your special All-Star segment.

Hitting a baseball is already one of the hardest things in all of sports so doing so with no depth perception is CRAZY. Big props to that dude. Can’t even imagine how hard that must be.

Congratulation for the monthly MVP Bauer-san!!

I want to see the Momentum crew try that one-eye batting out in the cage! I mean, I wanna see Eric Sim get folded with one eye open...

congrats Trevor for being elected to play at the NPB All stars!!!

Done, just voted. Your one eye experimentation brought me back to my childhood memory. One of my childhood friends had only one working eye. I'm not sure if he was born that way but he could only see through one eye. One day, we were throwing a ball playing catch. I threw a bit harder than he was comfortable with and the ball almost hit his face. (It didn't, by the way). He was so upset and mad and screamed at me "Unlike you, I only have one eye. that's the only eye I have!" I didn't know what to say. We were probably in second or third grade. I came home and told my mom what Happened and she told me why he was so mad. He could never afford to lose the eye he has. That's the only eye he has so that was why he was so upset and rightfully so. I like you brought the awareness for those who live with physical disadvantages. Thanks Trevor.

Congratulations on your June NPB MVP
