BayStars is known as a team that has "friendly, easy going" atmosphere, but sometimes it does them disservice as it feels like they don't have the intensity needed to win the championship. Your frustration was totally justified in the eyes of Japanese fans, because we felt the same way watching the play. Thank you for setting the teammates straight. They really needed it.
The difference between the Bauer vlogs and other athlete vlogs is that his feel personal. He includes things that most people don’t see, he talks directly to us, and he holds the camera, which makes his content the best by far. I think it seperates him from other athlete vlogers who don’t make a personal connection and it feels more like a production.
This may be an odd take? Bauer is so studious of his game and his body. Won the CY Young so had American baseball mastered. Watching these vlogs and his openness to learn the difference and strive to adjust to playing in Japan is so a fun to watch. Shows he loves baseball. Yes he makes millions so people will say that. He could have gone there taken 4 mil and did the bare minimum. He loves the game and it shows, grateful he shares his experience, he knows most people will never get that chance. Thank you Trevor
I am glad you are seemingly having fun! Years from now you will look back on this experience and thank GOD you had this opportunity to play baseball overseas. I love these videos. Easily one of the best video series on the RUclips. Stay the course.
Trevor went to Japan with no glove, looking in sports stores and buying one off the wall.. Now every episode this guys got like every manufacture sending him 3 different gloves haha
Love you trev. I’m so happy that you have gotten the opportunity to grow as a person. You honestly seem so happy. I mean we don’t know you obviously but you just seem so much happier in Japan idk.
I really enjoy your content, I’ve been a fan since ucla. Bitter sweet to watch you now over seas however the fact LAD are paying you bags while you follow your dream is awesome. As a SDP fan I literally prayed you signed here. Keep up the hard work and sign with us after your run in Japan!
I'm a baseball scorekeeping administrator for a summer ball collegiate league in the States. Basically, I'm the trainer and auditor for official scorers around the league. The running lane is there to protect the batter/runner from getting hit like that and to protect the fielder from hitting the batter/runner. The call was correct and should have been that way as well. You are basically forced to run in the runner's lane in foul territory then step back in fair territory/the bag. Still love the videos and love seeing the differences between Japan and USA baseball.
As an umpire I agree with what you are saying. I think had the ball not hit the back of Trevor they wouldn't have called it but since it did they were kind of forced to call it.
Miss seeing you here in America brother but I'm glad things are going good for you so far in Japan Trevor keep up the good work man and I enjoy these vlogs
As a relatively new fan of Baseball (got into it in the last year)from Scotland where it's not a very popular sport these videos have given me such an amazing insight to the sport and have helped me understand it a bit more so it's great how frequently they're posted.
@@Fstwist3393 Alright mate, Atlanta Braves and to a lesser extent the Toronto Blue Jays, you? I was looking through the bt sport app at like 2 am and saw a mets Vs braves game, been hooked since.
It’s a beautiful game and it always makes me happy to hear people from other countries enjoy it as well. I’m a born and raised American and I’ve practically had a baseball in my hand since birth. My dad had me sitting with him watching ball games from day one. Question for ya, have you ever tried playing any baseball?
The entertaining content paired with training method explanation and video is absolute gold for my daughter. She is addicted to your videos and has a tremendous dedication to the weighted ball drills and critical analysis of her throwing. She is a catcher in softball and dreams of being a pick up pitcher on boys teams. At 9 she is chasing 50mph with the softball, just like you are chasing 100mph. She has 2 mph to go and you are a great inspiration to her.
When you bought the leather to make your own glove, in my mind I was like "Yeah, right" but holy cow, you are actually making a usable glove! You never cease to amaze me!!
Love the performance you're putting in, last one was tough but I could feel your passion. Season's still long, and I believe you could help Baystars become the champions!
Episode by Episode, I notice the other Baystars players joining and clowning for the camera!! The team loves you and it’s becoming more comfortable with you by the episode/week. Keep it up and keep up the good work by the you and the whole team!! Ps: See if you can get Miyazaki (The 3rd baseman) on camera to explain his batting stance. He turns his whole back to the pitcher and gets great results. On another angle, how would you approach him if you were pitching against him???????
Just a tip on leather working. Always sew the leather inside out that way it is not an awkward look with the glove. I do leather working myself so I thought I would just give this tip.
As an umpire myself, I can see why they may call RLI (Runners Lane Interference). I believe as long as your foot doesn't hit fair territory you're fine (I wouldn't call it if its half your foot off the line). It's a hard thing to call as an umpire and in a situation like this where the ball does end up hitting you as the batter-runner they are almost forced to call it.
Wouldn't there also have to be cause for intention to interfere? Clearly being beaned in the back of the head should not be intention. If that's the case, why don't we have infielders just throwing balls at runners all the time... I mean I'm only a retired highschool ump, but I wouldn't call that an out without intention. He had no idea the ball was thrown at him. I'd call that a throwing error.
@@kevinlove2002 Intention doesn't play a part in the rule. Rule 5.09(a)(11) A batter is out when: In running the last half of the distance from home base to first base, while the ball is being fielded to first base, he runs outside (to the right of) the three-foot line, or inside (to the left of) the foul line, and in the umpire's judgment in so doing interferes with the fielder taking the throw at first base, in which case the ball is dead; except that he may run outside (to the right of) the three-foot line or inside (to the left of) the foul line to avoid a fielder attempting to field a batted ball; Coaches and players should really read the rulebook sometimes.
@@timchalmers1700 yes, the comment in the rulebook makes it a little more clear Rule 5.09(a)(11) Comment: The lines marking the three-foot lane are a part of that lane and a batter-runner is required to have both feet within the three-foot lane or on the lines marking the lane. The batter-runner is permitted to exit the three-foot lane by means of a step, stride, reach or slide in the immediate vicinity of first base for the sole purpose of touching first base.
@@ringosk1 If thats the case , maybe I should teach the kids I coach to defend by simply throwing the ball at the runners. Make the game dodge ball... I played for close to 25 years from T-ball to triple A. I've read many different rulebooks, as I umpired and coached in many different leagues, I would never have called that an out the way it played out for Trevor, and would have fought it as a coach. Now if Trevor was running backwards and watching where the ball was thrown, and intentionally jumped in front of it, then yes, I see the rule as holding true. However, I believe even though intent is not mentioned in the rule that you are quoting from, we can't turn baseball into dodgeball. You know now that I think about it, In situations with no one coming home, I as a catcher used to shadow runners to first. I never once got a ball thrown to me unless it was a bad throw that the first baseman couldn't pull in. But I bring it up because I suppose by that rule they could intentionally say they were throwing to me for a tag out and just nail the runner and call it interference... Yea, the intent of that rule doesn't hold in my book...
Greetings from Sweden! I've followed Trevor's vlogs for a couple of years and I find his adventures very entertaining and educative. Thank you! Domo arigato!
Just so happy to see you playing baseball very hard and you deserve a lot more than what you get having a son that’s going to college as a D1 athlete and that looks up to you. It’s one of the best things for me as a man just keep on doing what you do.
At 2:04 , the graphic says Fukushima Toyo Carp. It should be Hiroshima Toyo Carp. I can’t help but point out minor typos and such, sorry! I love the series and look forward to a new one every Sunday. Thanks Trevor!
I cannot thank you enough for demonstrating what has been lost in NPB players yesterday. It's a shame that you, the latest addition to the Baystars, has the strongest desire to win a game. Something is wrong if a professional didn't get mad like you did after seeing the little league level lazy plays and errors. You spoke the mind of many fans!!
It was a right call but I get your point. Runners in that situation are forced to make an awkward movement when reaching the base. The rule should change, and they should make it the softball style first base.
Would really like to see the highlights Trevor tried to put in for his teammate, but NPB wont let him show any live footage. hopefully they change that soon! Love the videos!!
That particular play has always been a point of contention in the MLB. By rule, it's interference but practically, it's not natural for the batter to take that route on the foul side of the line. One proposed solution would to have the bag extend past the line. Aesthetically, it would look weird but that would seem the best way. I suppose they could also alter the rule to allow the batter to run on the fair side of the line but the downside is that it could become even more of a judgement call than before.
As an ex first baseman/base runner and a current pitcher, I really think they should implement an extra bag, on the foul side, of first base. It gives the runner a better lane, which in return would cause less collisions and plays like the bunt play you had. As a first baseman I had my leg and foot taken out by a salty base runner. Still have knee problems to this day because of it. As a pitcher on pfps it’d make it much easier to create a throwing lane and go all out on plays where the pitcher has to cover first. They’d have the whole bag to tag instead of just the corner and be able to focus more on the incoming throw. Also as a runner you could dive on bad throws and not have to worry about the first baseman possibly landing on you with cleats.
Nothing I like more to watch right now always have loved the bts of baseball with the channel, but in another country following your experiences has been truly entertaining
I always look forward to the weekend to catch your VLOGs! Love the content keep it up, hopefully we'll see you back in the big leagues some day! Also SAFE
Asics is such an amazing company for not only making the gloves with custom paint but also customizing them to you ! Excited to see the other gloves you use and come up with! :) and as for that play at the end, I think you should of been advanced to first. Because, not only were you hit with the throw, but the line only matters on a throw to base from the field or a pickle like tag. When you’d be in a situation of a double play to know which way the batter was going to go. But when you’re hit I think it’s the 1st base and pitchers point to throw it to each other and not through the runners. A good example is, 1st to second doesn’t have a base line. Can’t call him out for nailing that runner in the head lol. It’s if YOUR TEAM hits you with the ball like running well you’re in fair play, that can be counted as an out. THEY have to tag you or the bag with the ball IN CONTROL if opposing, example outfield drops ball after entering glove means that’s not in control. dodgeball is not fair game! haha or strikeout ;) also loved the pitching montage at the end too!
He was the first one to point out the insane spin rate increases with sticky substances with hard data . He knows an insane amount about pitching and you can tell in these videos . The way he points out the reasons for certain stretches or exercises and how it relates to pitching and pitch speed is stuff normal people don’t even think about .
Trevor, the ump saw you hitch inside on the last part of the run, that is why he called it. For that reason the ump could use the word "intentional". You do what all alert baserunners do, you hitched to the target glove as the firstbaseman responded to the bad throw hoping to obstruct the throw.
Was thinking the exact same thing, excellent example of a brand seizing their opportunity. Japanese brands are so fascinating lol, the attention to detail (even just the packaging) is awesome.
In Japan, this minor rule has become famous because of a dramatic and unimportant moment in the 2014 Japan Series (MLB's equivalent of the World Series) when Nishioka's tie score was canceled and he was out due to this rule, ending the series. This video, in Japanese, is the news of the play at that moment ruclips.net/video/UmExU8whqmo/видео.html
Most comments on the baserunning play are correct there is one point that needs to be added. That is once you established “your” baseline, you can not alter it. Your first strides were outside the line, then you faded inside the line. If you had started in fair territory and stayed in fair territory, then no interference would have been called. Or at least it could’ve been argued. Example some players when bunting run on the infield grass to first. Good job “lift small bunt the ball” Kevin should be proud.
Big fan of your videos, I am happy to see you got another opportunity to play baseball and wish you nothing but the best. Your very insightful and fun to watch. I did have a question, after watching your gloves review's I wanted to know if you have more options for gloves,color,etc then you did when you were in the states?
Just a tip if you didn't know Trevor, you can use your camera with Google translate so you can actually read everything in English. It can even pick up hand writing sometimes and works well for menus at restaurants or possibly that fan letter you received Also love seeing the teammates sneak in some camera time when you're practicing haha
I've grown to really love these. 5:00 'I can't read... Any of this, but thanks to whoever sent this to me' killed me 😂 It must be so confusing and kinda lonely over there, I'm glad we all get to kinda be with you through the net
Only heard of you before I started watching ur vlog seen u one time after u struck a guy out they talked about the McGregor walk thought that’s cocky but entertaining for baseball.know that ive been watching ur content i understand your hard work ethic and ur nerd way of thinking about every pitch and trying to perfect it and I love it.ur a baller that’s it and u show hood work ethic on here been telling my son about ur way to pick up mph so thanks and keep up the good work.
I did a quick check in Japanese and this is probably out. Only between first base and home base, the fielder basically has priority. The runner only has priority in three-foot lanes. In other words, if you were in the three-foot lane when the ball hit you, you were not out. Without such a rule, you would be able to intentionally go to hit the ball and interfere with the delivery of the ball. This is only when the runner made contact with the ball or a fielder, and again, there seems to be no problem if it was to avoid a hazard. So it seems to me that you were running outside the three-foot line when you bunted the second time, but even if the ball were to hit you there, you could still be out. Although, given the angle of the sending line, I think that would be difficult. It is not certain, so I think it would be more reliable to ask Ryu-san for more information. At any rate, both of your bunts were excellent! Sorry if my English is poor, from deepL.
i was supposed to go to one of the bay stars games while i was in japan but it got canceled due to rain… it was June 2nd, i’m now back in the US and regret not being able to go i’ll be sure to go next time
Those new gloves are sick! Next are custom Mizuno and SSK. Seeing you open the packages for had me feeling so sad. I miss getting new gloves and starting the break in process 😢 I’ve never seen ASICS gloves before and didn’t even know they made them. Very cool
ehhh to be called out on that play is a dumb rule.... but to swing wide the second time is the greatest way to silently protest said rule.. i had a shitty day and that was a laugh i've needed. keep playin trevor. you got a good thing goin!
If it is the same as MLB rules then your mistake was to cross into fair territory to early. The run started outside or on the line, halfway there crossed into fair territory. Which means the call was correct.
As I understand it, you can’t be to the left of the white line “in play”. You need to be to the right down the chalked “lane”. The angle coming out of the batters box for a RH Hitter looks off for sure and not natural the way they want you to run. Way more natural for a LH Hitter as they can just run straight. Congratulations on taking over 1st place! Love the new gloves. The tan with the blue is awesome.
This play has been a controversy in mlb as well. This year, I've seen it called both ways, which doesn't help anyone's argument either way. The rule is difficult to decipher due to the fact that it kind of falls under the umpires' discretion. I love your solution of going extra wide on the 2nd attempt. That gave me a good laugh. Jomboy did a really good breakdown with this exact play and a manager who was used to seeing his players being called out like you were arguing when the opposing player was not called out. He even brought a photo of the player running in fair territory to the media during his interview which was comical to say the least. It's so interesting how a play won't get attention for multiple years and then happen multiple times in the same year with varying calls. I'd love to hear an umpire break down the calls made on the multiple examples we have of this. I'm also curious if the rule is written any different in Japan than it is in mlb and if that changes anything.
4:44 The character written on this shirt is "Samurai". People who live without bending the things they believe in, the way they do things. I thought that the person who gave the gift probably felt the "samurai" in the way of life of the baseball player Trevor Bauer.
It is a safety thing they came up with. That is why there is a second line to the right of the foul line. You are supposed to run down that line, so you do not get injured.
I'm not sure what NPA rules are but in my opinion you are safe in MLB. Dude keep killing it! You are the best thing in baseball period! GOAT OF BASEBALL! FREE TREVOR BAUER NOW!
Yes Trevor. Thats whats called Runner Lane Interference (RLI). You must run in the running lane to the right of the line. The exception is to touch first base. If you are close enough to reach first base, you then are allowed to only step on the bag within reason. As long as there is no other movement than touching the bag that could hinder or impede the defense from making that play
I like all the baseball stuff but we want to see you walking around, eating in Japan and talking to fans...where is your agent?! She is a great tour guide to a city she's probably not been to a lot of times
Now I’ve heard your running lane is outside the lines & I think that’s so the catcher has a fair line of sight to throw the ball inside the lines if he makes it to the ball before the pitcher . Plus running outside of the lines helps in cornering around the bases when your going full speed . OUTSIDE THE LINES WHEN RUNNING BASES TREV .
Trevor first off man love your vids. I’m 41 and coach HS baseball. It’s really interesting listening to a guy at your level talking mechanics. I had a question on the right foot after you release the ball. I notice yours for the most part stays behind you or doesn’t move much and growing up and getting instruction myself as a former player years and years ago I was always taught to let your right foot swing through to create energy toward target. Can you briefly explain why that is correct or not correct? Love your content man. Always interesting to here you talk baseball.
For reference: Runner’s Lane Rule, Rule 5.09(a)(11) A batter is out when: In running the last half of the distance from home base to first base, while the ball is being fielded to first base, he runs outside (to the right of) the three-foot line, or inside (to the left of) the foul line, and in the umpire’s judgment in so doing interferes with the fielder taking the throw at first base, in which case the ball is dead; except that he may run outside (to the right of) the three-foot line or inside (to the left of) the foul line to avoid a fielder attempting to field a batted ball.
This play has been called wrong or at least, arguably wrong, so many times, that you are just another example. I don't think you should have been out, but we've all seen it before with other players.
@@kcgunesq This was textbook RLI by Bauer. If he had been running where the rules tell the batter-runner to run, he would not have interfered with the throw. The NPB umpires got this one 1000% correct.

Trevor is helping my son so much with showing his work out stuff my son has made huge leaps with this stuff
It was a right call but I get your point. Runners in that situation are forced to make an awkward movement when reaching the base. The rule should change, and they should make it the softball style first base.
Look forward to these every week! Thanks youtuber
Would really like to see the highlights Trevor tried to put in for his teammate, but NPB wont let him show any live footage. hopefully they change that soon! Love the videos!!
Ngl I’ve been so invested in these vlogs, I’m always waiting for the next video. Awesome look into Japanese culture and Japanese baseball!
That particular play has always been a point of contention in the MLB. By rule, it's interference but practically, it's not natural for the batter to take that route on the foul side of the line. One proposed solution would to have the bag extend past the line. Aesthetically, it would look weird but that would seem the best way. I suppose they could also alter the rule to allow the batter to run on the fair side of the line but the downside is that it could become even more of a judgement call than before.
Dude these videos have been so fire since you moved to japan...the earlier vlogs were great but these are on another level
His editor is pretty legendary too ;p
I look forward to this video every Sunday!!!
As an ex first baseman/base runner and a current pitcher, I really think they should implement an extra bag, on the foul side, of first base. It gives the runner a better lane, which in return would cause less collisions and plays like the bunt play you had. As a first baseman I had my leg and foot taken out by a salty base runner. Still have knee problems to this day because of it. As a pitcher on pfps it’d make it much easier to create a throwing lane and go all out on plays where the pitcher has to cover first. They’d have the whole bag to tag instead of just the corner and be able to focus more on the incoming throw. Also as a runner you could dive on bad throws and not have to worry about the first baseman possibly landing on you with cleats.
The Japanese make the best merch EVER. Love all your unboxing man
Nothing I like more to watch right now always have loved the bts of baseball with the channel, but in another country following your experiences has been truly entertaining
I always look forward to the weekend to catch your VLOGs! Love the content keep it up, hopefully we'll see you back in the big leagues some day! Also SAFE
Asics is such an amazing company for not only making the gloves with custom paint but also customizing them to you ! Excited to see the other gloves you use and come up with! :) and as for that play at the end, I think you should of been advanced to first. Because, not only were you hit with the throw, but the line only matters on a throw to base from the field or a pickle like tag. When you’d be in a situation of a double play to know which way the batter was going to go. But when you’re hit I think it’s the 1st base and pitchers point to throw it to each other and not through the runners. A good example is, 1st to second doesn’t have a base line. Can’t call him out for nailing that runner in the head lol. It’s if YOUR TEAM hits you with the ball like running well you’re in fair play, that can be counted as an out. THEY have to tag you or the bag with the ball IN CONTROL if opposing, example outfield drops ball after entering glove means that’s not in control. dodgeball is not fair game! haha or strikeout ;) also loved the pitching montage at the end too!
I feel like Trevor would be the best pitching coach known to man kind, anyone agree?
I agreed strongly
I completely agree
He was the first one to point out the insane spin rate increases with sticky substances with hard data . He knows an insane amount about pitching and you can tell in these videos . The way he points out the reasons for certain stretches or exercises and how it relates to pitching and pitch speed is stuff normal people don’t even think about .
@@cd5433ik trev said he had like a 4.3 or something crazy like that in collage 😂😂. Bro is hella smart
I laughed so hard at the second run.
That's why I love you.
There is no humidity today and moon is beautiful🌃Tomorrow is the fullmoon🌕
Trevor, the ump saw you hitch inside on the last part of the run, that is why he called it. For that reason the ump could use the word "intentional". You do what all alert baserunners do, you hitched to the target glove as the firstbaseman responded to the bad throw hoping to obstruct the throw.
All this time, I thought you just threw the ball. Never did I realize how in depth your regiment was😮. I am now a fan. Rock on sir 🤘😎
he's basically a baseball scientist
Mannnnn shoutouts to the Wagyu JB team, they're taking their opportunity and running with it!
Was thinking the exact same thing, excellent example of a brand seizing their opportunity. Japanese brands are so fascinating lol, the attention to detail (even just the packaging) is awesome.
Yes but how to get them ordered in the states? I'm also interested in a custom Slugger too.
@@deepzone31would pick wagyu over the slugger tho, it's known in japan as higher tier gloves than slugger. idk how to get it to the states tho
GOAT UPLOADED LFGG KEEP IT UP MAN!
In Japan, this minor rule has become famous because of a dramatic and unimportant moment in the 2014 Japan Series (MLB's equivalent of the World Series) when Nishioka's tie score was canceled and he was out due to this rule, ending the series.
This video, in Japanese, is the news of the play at that moment

Most comments on the baserunning play are correct there is one point that needs to be added. That is once you established “your” baseline, you can not alter it. Your first strides were outside the line, then you faded inside the line. If you had started in fair territory and stayed in fair territory, then no interference would have been called. Or at least it could’ve been argued. Example some players when bunting run on the infield grass to first. Good job “lift small bunt the ball” Kevin should be proud.
You have to use that new Wagyu JB glove in a game! That thing is awesome!!
Big fan of your videos, I am happy to see you got another opportunity to play baseball and wish you nothing but the best. Your very insightful and fun to watch. I did have a question, after watching your gloves review's I wanted to know if you have more options for gloves,color,etc then you did when you were in the states?
Just a tip if you didn't know Trevor, you can use your camera with Google translate so you can actually read everything in English. It can even pick up hand writing sometimes and works well for menus at restaurants or possibly that fan letter you received
Also love seeing the teammates sneak in some camera time when you're practicing haha
I've grown to really love these.
5:00 'I can't read... Any of this, but thanks to whoever sent this to me' killed me 😂
It must be so confusing and kinda lonely over there, I'm glad we all get to kinda be with you through the net
Only heard of you before I started watching ur vlog seen u one time after u struck a guy out they talked about the McGregor walk thought that’s cocky but entertaining for baseball.know that ive been watching ur content i understand your hard work ethic and ur nerd way of thinking about every pitch and trying to perfect it and I love it.ur a baller that’s it and u show hood work ethic on here been telling my son about ur way to pick up mph so thanks and keep up the good work.
Good**
it’s correct call trevor. you have to run in the runners lane until last step.
It's great training.I will study a lot.Thank you so much.
Hey Trevor. Nice win and performance against the Tigers. It would be cool to see your reaction to the Central League All Star lineup
I love your videos so much, just bought a shirt because I want to support you and everything that you’re doing for the game of baseball
I did a quick check in Japanese and this is probably out.
Only between first base and home base, the fielder basically has priority.
The runner only has priority in three-foot lanes.
In other words, if you were in the three-foot lane when the ball hit you, you were not out.
Without such a rule, you would be able to intentionally go to hit the ball and interfere with the delivery of the ball.
This is only when the runner made contact with the ball or a fielder, and again, there seems to be no problem if it was to avoid a hazard.
So it seems to me that you were running outside the three-foot line when you bunted the second time, but even if the ball were to hit you there, you could still be out.
Although, given the angle of the sending line, I think that would be difficult.
It is not certain, so I think it would be more reliable to ask Ryu-san for more information.
At any rate, both of your bunts were excellent!
Sorry if my English is poor, from deepL.
A’s Legend JB Wendelken making an appearance
i was supposed to go to one of the bay stars games while i was in japan but it got canceled due to rain… it was June 2nd, i’m now back in the US and regret not being able to go i’ll be sure to go next time
Great work against Chunichi. Love to see you out there fighting!
Also, no. You should have been safe, 100%
Actually he's guilty of runners lane interference.
Therefore the call is correct
Those new gloves are sick! Next are custom Mizuno and SSK. Seeing you open the packages for had me feeling so sad. I miss getting new gloves and starting the break in process 😢 I’ve never seen ASICS gloves before and didn’t even know they made them. Very cool
ehhh to be called out on that play is a dumb rule.... but to swing wide the second time is the greatest way to silently protest said rule.. i had a shitty day and that was a laugh i've needed. keep playin trevor. you got a good thing goin!
Really enjoying these vlogs, Trev.
The Kanji on the T-shirt says "Samurai"
Should've been called safe. Loving the videos Trevor. Keep it up!
If it is the same as MLB rules then your mistake was to cross into fair territory to early. The run started outside or on the line, halfway there crossed into fair territory. Which means the call was correct.
The kanji printed on the shirt is SAMURAI.
i watch these when i wake up every sunday
As I understand it, you can’t be to the left of the white line “in play”. You need to be to the right down the chalked “lane”. The angle coming out of the batters box for a RH Hitter looks off for sure and not natural the way they want you to run. Way more natural for a LH Hitter as they can just run straight. Congratulations on taking over 1st place! Love the new gloves. The tan with the blue is awesome.
I’ll give him +50 for hitting my head 😂😂😂😂 love the COD reference
This play has been a controversy in mlb as well. This year, I've seen it called both ways, which doesn't help anyone's argument either way. The rule is difficult to decipher due to the fact that it kind of falls under the umpires' discretion. I love your solution of going extra wide on the 2nd attempt. That gave me a good laugh. Jomboy did a really good breakdown with this exact play and a manager who was used to seeing his players being called out like you were arguing when the opposing player was not called out. He even brought a photo of the player running in fair territory to the media during his interview which was comical to say the least. It's so interesting how a play won't get attention for multiple years and then happen multiple times in the same year with varying calls. I'd love to hear an umpire break down the calls made on the multiple examples we have of this.
I'm also curious if the rule is written any different in Japan than it is in mlb and if that changes anything.
4:44 The character written on this shirt is "Samurai". People who live without bending the things they believe in, the way they do things. I thought that the person who gave the gift probably felt the "samurai" in the way of life of the baseball player Trevor Bauer.
It is a safety thing they came up with. That is why there is a second line to the right of the foul line. You are supposed to run down that line, so you do not get injured.
I'm not sure what NPA rules are but in my opinion you are safe in MLB. Dude keep killing it! You are the best thing in baseball period! GOAT OF BASEBALL! FREE TREVOR BAUER NOW!
Yes Trevor. Thats whats called Runner Lane Interference (RLI). You must run in the running lane to the right of the line. The exception is to touch first base. If you are close enough to reach first base, you then are allowed to only step on the bag within reason. As long as there is no other movement than touching the bag that could hinder or impede the defense from making that play
No cap im impressed you made a homemade glove. It looks like a hard thing to make but yours looked pretty decent.
I like all the baseball stuff but we want to see you walking around, eating in Japan and talking to fans...where is your agent?! She is a great tour guide to a city she's probably not been to a lot of times
Love the vidoes Trevor!
Always excited to watch your videos man
All and all great work on the mound for the dub Trevor can’t lie
Yeah man you’re out there that’s why there are two lines on the first base path that’s where you’re supposed to run in between the lines
Your anger was what the BayStars needed. From now on, this team will continue to accumulate victories toward the championship！
Angry Bauer gets the job done. Good job on 7/1
Trevor is more knowledgeable about pitching mechanics than 99% of MLB pitching coaches.
Now I’ve heard your running lane is outside the lines & I think that’s so the catcher has a fair line of sight to throw the ball inside the lines if he makes it to the ball before the pitcher . Plus running outside of the lines helps in cornering around the bases when your going full speed . OUTSIDE THE LINES WHEN RUNNING BASES TREV .
FINALLY!!! I'VE BEEN WAITING ALL DAYYY
Me too!
Trevor we need some longer videos
Hey Trevor this American will see y’all play in the Tokyo dome on Friday
Trevor first off man love your vids. I’m 41 and coach HS baseball. It’s really interesting listening to a guy at your level talking mechanics.
I had a question on the right foot after you release the ball. I notice yours for the most part stays behind you or doesn’t move much and growing up and getting instruction myself as a former player years and years ago I was always taught to let your right foot swing through to create energy toward target.
Can you briefly explain why that is correct or not correct?
Love your content man. Always interesting to here you talk baseball.
He'd make the best pitching coach in the history of baseball
He relies to much on analytics than personality that's why most hurting coaches are 50+
If Baystars win the championship this year, your roar on July 1st will be called the turning point scene to win the championship.
For reference: Runner’s Lane Rule, Rule 5.09(a)(11)
A batter is out when: In running the last half of the distance from home base to first base, while the ball is being fielded to first base, he runs outside (to the right of) the three-foot line, or inside (to the left of) the foul line, and in the umpire’s judgment in so doing interferes with the fielder taking the throw at first base, in which case the ball is dead; except that he may run outside (to the right of) the three-foot line or inside (to the left of) the foul line to avoid a fielder attempting to field a batted ball.
This play has been called wrong or at least, arguably wrong, so many times, that you are just another example. I don't think you should have been out, but we've all seen it before with other players.
What does the Japanese rule book say? 😁
@@GRice999 NPB uses mostly OBR with some adaptions to some rules. I see no reason they would change RLI.
@@kcgunesq If his foot was in fair territory the umpires are essentially forced to call it.
@@kcgunesq This was textbook RLI by Bauer. If he had been running where the rules tell the batter-runner to run, he would not have interfered with the throw. The NPB umpires got this one 1000% correct.
