100 Quotes by Trevor Bauer

As soon as I sense you're developing feelings, I'm going to cut it off, because I'm not interested in a relationship and I'm emotionally unavailable.

I like who I am, trying to handle myself with integrity, character, honesty, treat people well and how I would like to be treated. And as long as I do those things, I can look at myself in the mirror and be proud of who I am at the end of each day.

I haven't heard a single negative thing. Everyone has glowing reviews. A lot of people have told me, 'If you can play for the Dodgers, you should. First class.'

I don't want to be a player that signs a long-term deal and towards the end is resented, either by the fan base, by the organization, or on my end for having my performance slip below what my contract dictates.

I grew up going to Dodger Stadium and I would look out there on the field with my dad and say, 'Man, those guys are superstars.' And they were. But they almost had this extraterrestrial feel to them, like it wasn't achievable. It wasn't a tangible goal because I didn't know anything about the players.

The more those young fans get to understand that, 'Hey, this guy does some of the same things I do,' it creates a lot of interest and a lot of belief that they could become future big-leaguers. That's really where it starts, inspiring, entertaining and connecting with those young fans in a way that they can understand.

We have free agents getting signed based on having a higher spin rate than another guy. If I can put pine tar on my hand and increase my spin rate 200 RPM and then get a job over another guy who isn't breaking the rules, how is that fair?

Spin rate itself doesn't make a pitch harder to hit. It just makes it further from what the hitters are used to seeing. It takes a pitch further away from average.

That's how I choose to approach my career. I'm constantly trying to find an edge and find the next way to improve myself.
