Bauer living in Japan probably made him realize how much a country can love the game of baseball. Thank you for making this video!
After watching Trevor over there and seeing the Baseball Doesn't Exist video on Japanese baseball. I don't think even Americans ever loved Baseball as much as the Japanese people do.
what an asinine statement @@JRock3091
In USA its the American sport but in Japan its a religion.
I want to tell you from Japan We hate him
Yeah I was blessed with a foul ball in my first Jball game from a Swallows hitter. Best souvenir a baseball fan could get. Ive seen 10 games in Japan and always loved it. Fans always share food with me and the balloons and chants keep if very US collage football like as a comparison. I was hoping he would stay in Japan but clearly he cant make as much money playing.
I think Trevor has been through a ton in his career. Some fair, some unfair, but dude is turning into the best ambassador for the game we could ask for. Good for him.
As a Clevelander, I'll always remember the finger wound in the 2016 ALCS. Can't believe it has almost been 8 years.
He's a stain
@@erics2132How dumbass?
Its prolly him trying to "pay his dues" to get the higher ups to let him get back to where he belongs.
So true man. It is such a shame he was blacklisted. Idk what went down with those girls but neither does anyone else. He should be given another chance IMO.
bro that 1st dominoes delivery guy had no shame asking for a tip lmao.
Lmao I thought the same
He gets laid shit so he relies on it
Paid
Tip culture in America
That wasn't even an ask, that was more like "so what is your method of payment for the tip?"
That Dumb and Dumber reference on the Rhino was legendary
Something tells me Trever is going to help that mom with getting her kids to play baseball this season
Agreed...
Yeah he just left us hanging with no ending
@@Eddy_HVAC He may have. What he did get out was the cost of youth sports now. All 3 of my daughters play travel soccer and one also plays travel softball. I can tell you many girls with more talent won’t get that opportunity because of $$$$
That would be awesome ⚾️❤️❤️❤️
I was expecting the next segment to be him telling her he'll pay for her kids to play baseball and cover all the equipment costs. I'm assuming he did. That would be a good charity for him to put together. Helping families that can't afford the costs of little league.
It’s funny how things have changed over generations… baseball was invented as a way to “pass the time” and nowadays people don’t have time for the game. It says a lot about how society has changed.
I believe it’s because here in America, we’ve become so obsessed with work and money, it takes up almost all our time and energy.
With social media and technology and the endless amounts of online entertainment, it’s so much better to watch a tv show on Netflix or scroll through endless amounts of CZcams shorts or tik toks
Our attention spans are low, especially for the younger generation. In traffic there are so many drivers who cut each other off just to save 2 seconds.
Great observation thats literally whats killing the game in the 1980s in Ireland lots of kids would play ''rounders'', big organised baseball
games and you would litterally watch the other players both good and bad waiting to pitch field or take your turn at bat....now kids as young as 8 or 9 all have smart phones, they're gaming, overeating or at least eating all the wrong stuff.
We have not improved and l've traveled widely Europe, Africa,
America its similar in most countries and places.
So true
Great comment!
Your statement is true. But this applies all over the world. Baseball has just too much games and the game takes too long. @@Kitten_TV8
Seeing the baseball culture in Japan makes me realize just how dedicated they are to the game, wish we had more of that here. Great video
Dude, Trevor, you're a genius. I really like that you're doing your part to revive baseball. I gotta tell you, I'd really like to see you in a Reds uniform again, but sounds like the Front Office won't make it happen. Hope you land with a team soon in the majors!
The guy who was just chilling in the library killed me. just the "Uhm...I was just kinda chillin."
Especially with that long pause 😂
Playing catch is chillin!
Bro was stoned 😂
He was blazed out of his mind.
I made sure I subscribed after that 😭
The Mom at the end had a better arm and mechanics than most those guys
probably because most of those guys didnt play baseball
the dad at around 6min was decent
@@ChairmanMeow1 For never having played baseball, he had really good mechanics
For never playing baseball all of them have decent mechanics lol
Trevor seemed to sense it too that's why he asked right away if she'd ever played softball
Living in Las Vegas and seeing the incredible magnitude of the local youth baseball scene, you would never think baseball is dying... thousands of kids playing every day, everywhere. impossible to get a batting cage or a field sometimes. And very good talent...
In Sacramento it seems really popular. A lot of the kids at my son's elementary school play it and go to the camps and all that. Some of my kid's friends do private lessons.
Seems to be the most popular youth sport in this particular neighborhood, then there is a big gap then soccer and basketball.
But in other neighborhoods I think soccer is the #1 sport for the elementary ages.
@@nofurtherwest3474 From Yuba city, at least 10-15 years ago it was really popular in our area right down 99 as well, always surprised the best sacramento could muster was a AAA team
@@williammason2799 I think Sac is just not the of the big markets, though its growing.
Cool I've been to Yuba City for the chinese festival thing.
This is the biggest change in my view. There is no “casual little league” anymore. A kid has to devote his life to it, playing travel, taking lessons, etc - or there’s no place for him. Little league is full of “gamers” who play on travel teams and are playing year round. So - while there is a passionate base of players, less people are going to play overall.
Also live in Vegas and you’re right. Huge baseball scene here
I don’t watch baseball on tv and I never played baseball. I’ve been to maybe a dozen or so games in my life. But I’ve gotta say, this is one of the most wholesome video I’ve ever seen and I watched every second of it. Great job!
Bauer out here changing more lives then he ever thought he could do. Super proud of this man for giving back after so many mistakes. Making an impact by reliving all over again.
What mistakes were those? Getting falsely accused of something?
Hey I’m a huge Bauer fan so not knocking the guy at all. But yes this things are mistakes regardless of whatever happened.
@@ikemunoz951you are right. The guy should live in a cave so you don’t perceive him living life like a regular person as a mistake. /s
You really shouldn't blame the victim in all of this. No one asks to be extorted and falsely accused. @@ikemunoz951
Yea I'm confused as well@@thebigcnel
Bro single-handed is growing the game of baseball. Respect
I know he doesn't get along with teammates is a big stigma. I wonder how japan teammates feel. I kinda think it went well if I had to guess. But he's great for baseball and I wish he had a better time with teammates. I think it might be useful for growing the game
And super to see playing with those who never have even played catch
@@kenw2225 yeah if you have a hard time no matter where you go, it's a "you" problem. Considering he's a trump-er I'm not too surprised honestly. He seems like he's one of the better ones though.
@@Vendrix86 What does his voting preferences have anything to do with the type of person he is?
@@jonnyt16 you're not seriously this dense are you? You associate yourself with people you like. Otherwise you wouldn't have anything to do with them. Think of your own friends. The fact that he likes Trump despite everything so far, says something about him. Learn to think and use logic for once in your life.
The Cubs winning the WS was the greatest moment of my life. Thank you for helping, Trevor.
I never played baseball, live in Europe, grew up playing basketball. Still vividly remember my first encounter with baseball: the home run derby in Boston in 1999 or 2000. Have been watching MLB baseball for about 20 years now, and am a fervent follower since about 10 years. Why? I just got to know the game and fell in love with it. There is so much more going on than you'd think at first sight. And still now I learn new things all the time. Also, being at a ballpark is the best way to spend a summer afternoon! I make frequent trips to the US, just to watch baseball games.
If only I could play catch with Trevor Bauer! That would be a dream come true
Somehow, knowing that will never happen, is a bit rewarding in itself.
Trevor’s videos have totally changed my opinion of him. I love this guy, his grit, determination and heart. Thanks for these videos!
Yeah, he’s doing some great things for baseball.
His Secks videos?
Turning lemons into Lemonade given your past couple of years. Great job and keep up the good work!
This guy is the best thing for baseball, ever !!! BRING BAUER BACK TO THE US!!!! Also, love the interview with Theo. Amazing.
And this is why, this is why we all love Trevor.
What would get me back to baseball reinstate Trevor Bauer!!
Thanks!
He has been reinstated. he just doesn't have a contract yet
I’m in the video background! Playing pickleball.
I would’ve played catch! I have total FOMO now. 😂
I was stationed in San Diego. We would do the flyovers with jets and helicopters before the game during the national anthem. My sons got to play catch with Andy Ashby, Steve Finley, Trevor Hoffman. It was such an awesome time and they even helped us get tryouts for the padres youth organization. Such awesome and humble guys!
Trevor, this was a wonderful video. I spent years in China growing the game and the passion out there, even though it came from a small percentage of the population, was absolutely amazing. There’s something special about baseball… the teamwork plus 1v1 nature, the perfection of the diamond and distances in 3’s, the relaxed nature of the game yet need for constant focus at any moment. There’s not quite like baseball and spreading the love of the game through catch is a great way to do it. Thanks for the video; brought back memories!
Canadian dude saying, “I got room for one more, if you still want to go to Aspen.” All time classic. Did Trevor get it? He wasn’t laughing as much as me.
czcams.com/video/UnkefjCES-4/video.htmlsi=hkUaKHF8WDxVa8AZ
I just got it D/D
I was howling!
I missed that and it was one of my favorite movies.
What’s the reference?
The fact that MLB didn’t do enough to keep you in and you are doing this for the sport says a lot about your character!
Funniest thing is the guy they’re trying to blackball from the league has done more for the popularity of the sport than MLB 😂😂 I honestly think people like Trevor and other baseball content creators are the way baseball will grow because young people like to watch CZcams and creators like Trevor can make the game so much more accessible than a longwinded 9 inning game, because at the end of the day kids have a very short attention span
@@rikupv agreed
They did Trevor so wrong! Once that witch was proven to be a liar they should have blasted his name and apologized!
This was a great video. The wholesomeness of a game of catch is unmatched
This is an amazing video. I’m happy to see someone trying to bring more fans to the sport.
This man is great for baseball. need more like him.
I was so bad at baseball and I was too shy to ask people how to improve. But I loved it. Eventually, I gave up at 12 years of age. Since then I often wished we had tried to have fun rather than focusing on trying to be good at it and being competitive. It's great to see Trever reaching out to strangers like this. I wish I had someone like him 40 years ago.
Love it! Keep making these videos! More people need to get involved! Hope the Braves pick you up!
I love this video and how you try to connect with people that you don't know. Maybe try it at a high school or a junior high. This is awesome stuff. I hope you continue to do videos like this in the future. Even though you are a professional baseball player, your video show the public that you are very much like a regular person off the field. Well done sir.
It's amazing to me that Trevor is doing so much to grow the game of baseball even though the MLB is out to get him.
I hope you hooked that family up at the end! Those kids deserve more equipment to play ball
The way that ended. Yeah, there's gotta be more
@@jonathanwingate1901 100% dude did something nice for them and didnt want to put it in his video.
What an awesome video Trevor, glad I found this tonight well done
“We’re fucked if we don’t win this game” 😂😂😂 I love what Trevor is doing 👍🏻 I hope he gets a nice contract this year to come back.
Hoping someone who commits SA gets a contract is certainly a take
@@erics2132the lowest burden of proof is necessary to get a restraining order
@@erics2132and she couldn’t get one
@@erics2132have a nice day
The pickleball angle hits home because my kids all played baseball at the local ball park, which has 4 little-league fields. Later games would have to be called when the sun went down. For years the league tried to get the city to put up lights, but it was too expensive. Then they installed pickleball courts on the other side of the park... with lights. So now the baseball teams have to pack up at dusk, but the 70yos can keep on plinking until the park closes at 10pm, and then they come back at 6am.
This both saddens me and angers me. Luckily we live near fields with lights so my kids can play past dusk. We need to bring back baseball!!
This!
Agree. And if played with wood bats, baseball does not cause noise issues like pickleball. I've read a boatload of articles about night pickleball causing big problems in neighborhoods.
@@ILruffian absolutely, and especially for the fact that more decent (affordable) bamboo bats come up with good publicity like those of BamBooBat or MPowered, that would endure off barrel contact better, thus be more novice-friendly.
Great content. Being from Cuba, baseball is a big part of our culture so it's always been my favorite sport. It brings me great joy to see you trying to grow the popularity of the sport.
I love Cuban baseball culture. I found Cuban league games live on CZcams ; the quality of that league is outstanding. I’d say AAA quality ball.
Keep it up Trevor! We need more of this
Imagine having your first catch with a Cy Young award winner.
This is seriously an awesome idea for a video. Would love to see more content like this with real interactions from loads of different people
Heck yeah brotha! Playing catch is always the best way to just relax and those were always the best conversations!
Love this video. As always, edited very well and personable.
Trevor, you should do follow-ups with these people in like a year...or even invite them to a game with you!
In a way, it's really heartbreaking to see how far the game I love has fallen. Thanks for being an awesome ambassador for the game.
They play too many games. 162 game season you just ignore it after awhile.
Grow up in East LA me and a few friends would get together and play baseball. Those were the happiest times of my life, however most of us chose to get into disruptive groups. I am 55 years old and I make better choices now and when I’m feeling stressed out, I go find a batting cage and it takes me back when things were innocent for me.
That's a great story, brotha
I love ya still love to play at times
Stumbled on this video by accident in my news feed. I love this. Makes you smile so big when you can bring some happiness with just a simple game of catch. I’m Heading back to phoenix in March to finish up TJ rehab. Would love to see another video like this but done at a couple sports bars in the area like zips. Or go even further and see how the younger generation elementary / middle schoolers perceive the game.
Trevor, baseball has been my love for so long. Memories of my grandpa throwing me "the pill" as a child and my dad teaching me how to hit, catch, and make athletic plays has always stuck with me. Thank you for using your platform to do this amazing thing. We need more of these videos Trevor.
Quit when I was 10. Started playing again last month and I’ve got my first practice tomorrow. Couldn’t be more excited! (I’m 15)
Come to southeast NC the first weekend in March for a teenager birthday party / baseball game... 😂😂😂 My son would be so star struck ... He is one of your biggest fans...
Keep it up Trevor! Make Baseball Great Again!
Great video. Love watching you bro! Keep it up
Trevor, the biggest barrier to entry for playing baseball is the number of people you need to play a game. In pretty much every game, you only need at least two people to be able to play. Those games are basketball, soccer, golf, any net game (tennis, badminton, volleyball, pickleball, etc.), frisbee golf, normal frisbee, martial arts, wrestling, etc. And all of those games get better with only four players. Baseball, on the other hand, requires way more players. Even just to play casually, you need a pitcher, three basemen, and maybe some outfielders. And that's just for one team. You'd need maybe 12 players total for a light casual game. That's way harder to organize than a game that only requires a few people. That on top of all the gear you need is part of the reason why people don't love baseball as much anymore.
The byedone regime inflation adds to the problem
Somehow kids do it in Dominican Republic everyday. Literally with just a stick and bottle cap.
They have no idea😂 I’d kill to play catch with a Cy young pitcher
This was a genius idea for a video. My love for the game started with playing catch. Thanks for doing this Trevor
Really enjoyed this video. I am glad Trevor is doing this type of stuff. It’s time to get him back to the mlb!
Glad to see a new video. I think this video is so important to drive up interest in the sport. You’re a legend, best of luck in contract negotiations/talks.
Wow.
Best video yet!
I really hope Trevor gets back to Cincinnati.
He would be a great addition to their rotation.
But wherever he end up I'll be watching him.
❤ To Trevor & the greatest sport that will ever be
Also a reds fan. /agree
Great video Mr. Bauer ! Baseball will forever be my favorite sport and has been apart of me since I was 4. Nice to see you reaching out to the community!
Trevor, I appreciate your ability to transport a positive message for Baseball and Competition through all the noise and distortion that MSM and modern media has trashed the communication channels with.
Interviewing the animals was adorable! 😊
Hey Trevor, I am a Cubs fan and I loooooved seeing that in this video. Sorry that our happiest moment was probably the opposite for your team. I think you are a great pitcher and I hope you get another shot in the MLB, hopefully with the Cubs. We need another STUD on the mound. Good luck and best wishes.
We could use a starter
Ever since they traded off the team it doesn’t feel like any of the cubs today are really cubs.
@@Shaqoneil81-ci7dr bro, this ain't 2016 🤣 The team would be dogshit if we had those cancers. Quit living in 2019🤣
@@sangreesraro3996 Yeah I get that but the team now just doesn’t have players that you feel really identify as “cubs”. They had players like that even through the bad years.
@@Shaqoneil81-ci7dr We have just as many Cubs that were brought up in the farm system as we did then. They just don't have the same star power. I feel like the cubs are really cubs. Happer has been with us since 2016-17, Hendricks is still there, morel was brought up in our farm system too. Idk, maybe you're just being nostalgic but the cubs today are definitely the cubs
you would be so valuable for any MLB team on and off the field, you do a great job man !!
my favorite youtuber, Never stop posting Trevor ❤️
I relate to the Dad that never played with a son that does. I learned so much watching my kids play. And honestly it made me appreciate the sport way more than I used to.
I have never played baseball nor do i like watching it but Trevor has made baseball super entertaining.
Man your content is awesome. These people have no idea they're playing catch with one of the best pitchers alive! Such a cool experience for both sides.
I love this so much. Keep up the content brother.
OMG HI IM A BIG FAN
You’re a good man Trevor! I hope to see you dominate again in the MLB. Love to see you join the Giants and shut down them dodgers! Good luck brother!
Mr. Bauer I must say as a Giants fan I wasn't too fond of you (can you blame me?) but after learning about everything....I wish you the best and hope you find yourself back in MLB. And I think this is the BEST video! We need to bring back catch!! I'm outside nearly every day with my two young boys playing catch and I always keep a few gloves and balls in my truck "just in case". This should be a nationwide campaign, everyone should do this! Bring back catch!!
Great video!!! Need more like this to grow the game!!!! so sweet!!!!
Thank you for being you. Introvert and a little awkward but still sincere personable. I grew up with some similarities playing all sports (obviously nowhere near your level lol) and skateboarding but also loved anime, pokemon, and video games. I hope we get to see you throwing strikes stateside this year.
Trevor is great for baseball. MLB needs him back.
I can’t stand when people still trash Trevor. The dude is so misunderstood. He’s a genuinely nice person, and is just different mentally that most people don’t understand. He really does want to help people, and his favorite sport, and videos like this get labeled as publicity stunts to make images better. I don’t believe that for a second. I genuinely believe he’s doing this because he wants to do good for others and his passion. He really gets the raw end of the deals. I hope he gets signed soon.
I think it is kind of a publicity stunt but that he also wanted to genuinely do it if that makes sense. I think he genuinely loves the sport and wants it to grow and wants others to love it like he does and he used this as an opportunity to show that side of himself to MLB in the hopes of getting a second chance.
My boy!!! Love this dude man, all the bs and he's still doing his thing. Wanna see him back in the majors for my Stros!!
now this is wholesome content.
Good for you Trevor.
I did not know that tidbit about game 5 of 2016 World Series! I know it stings but would love to see more of that content. ❤
Awesome idea ! And should be a series!!?!❤
Yes Trev! I showed a buddy your CZcams and you’ve spark my interest again. I’m pushing 60, and I have started watching highlights again, and in a few years I’ll retire for the second time, and be a season ticket holder to the Toledo MudHens. You’ve been blessed to be awkward in a good way. GREAT CONTENT! Well done!
Love to see Trevor in a different light. He genuinely seems like a smart and articulate dude. Hope he gets back to the show!
Great video. There are 2 things that hinder baseball in America. 1. the price of tickets is way too high for the average fan to experience it. 2. Most American's are wanting to be entertained without have to work with their minds to achieve the total experience. Once BB fans understand the game behind the surface experience it goes to another level.
Totally agree with #1. It costs me for a family of four about $600 dollars with everything to attend a Giants game. That's just for one single regular season game and not even the best seats!
OMG! For 2024, by far, this will be one of my favorite video. Thank you Trevor to trying to help bring life back into baseball. I do wish you a lot of success in whatever your life takes you.
Fantastic Video. Need more baseball you tube interesting videos just like this. We will look for others and keep up the good work!
Love Love Love This..... TY Trevor
One of the best videos you've made, pretty heart warming. I have a hunch Trevor is going to help out that mom's kids play little league.
Trevor got me into baseball. I even bought gloves for me and the kids. He is doing more for the sport than anyone else actively playing MLB.
Hahaha, love this video. Feels like Trevor is doing a research assignment for school. Very entertaining and insightful though, great work!
This video is so great!! Thanks Bauer team!
Dude! You need to make this a series. Play with family and kids. Kids will nag their parents to death until they get what they want. Go after the kids.
Baseball doesn't do nearly enough social media. This is why this video was.
“You’ll play catch? Awesome! I need you to go stand behind the centerfield wall.”
Jokes aside though, an incredibly touching video. You’re doing a lot for the game. Great editing, awesome narration, and good conversations every time.
Take that MLB! Bauer is a bigger ambassador for baseball than anyone in your front office!
Why are you such a wonderful young man? So happy to see you out there making a difference. Robertsdale, Alabama is a nice place to throw a ball too😉🫡
😂 having a 4 run lead and giving up a 5 run HR! That was good
5 run home run? That doesn't exist bro. Max runs u can get is 4 if the bases are juiced
@@Jarhead1086 Watch the video, that's exactly the point.
I love this, Trevor you're a great guy. I was kind of hoping you would play catch with people that can play, but don't recognize you. You speed up the throws, toss in a first curve ball and see how that goes, go back to throwing, toss a change-up once the person is used to getting the ball at the same speed. You get the idea. Then when they say, "who are you?" the big reveal occurs. That I would watch.
Yes! I was hoping for something like that as well. Trevor needs to another video like that!
What a great video. Really loved the ending!!!
I do not watch all of you videos but damn this one made me smile man, great job I loved it! Also, I went to snag a hat and they are sold out! damn!
Trevor this was awesome thing to do. Impressive to challenge yourself to step out of your comfort zone for the good of the game. This brought a big smile to my face. Thank you.
Bauer you’re a good dude! Wish nothing but the best for you
Bro!!! The family part is just awesome! Wow!
Instead of alienating Trevor, MLB should utilize what he brings to the game away from the game. Never a fan, I began to watch his videos and while many have a negative opinion, which I can understand with his past offbeat style, his approach to life is what attracted me. He's a really good person who is intellectually world's smarter than the average professional athlete.
