LANCASTER, Pa. — Former Major League Baseball Cy Young Award recipient Trevor Bauer delivered a stellar no-hit performance Sunday while pitching for the Atlantic League’s Long Island Ducks in their matchup against the Lancaster Stormers.
The 35-year-old right-handed pitcher completed seven innings of work, surrendering only a single walk while fanning seven batters on 84 total pitches, with 54 finding the strike zone. Bauer (1-0) set down the first 15 batters in order before issuing his lone free pass to Kevin Watson Jr. with one out in the sixth inning.
After the walk, Bauer regained his composure and dispatched the final five hitters he encountered, securing the third no-hitter in franchise history for the Ducks, who cruised to a 13-0 victory.
The performance comes as Bauer works to resurrect his major league career following a 194-game suspension for violations of MLB’s policies regarding domestic violence, sexual assault and child abuse. While criminal charges were never filed against him, civil lawsuits related to the allegations were resolved through settlements.
The Los Angeles Dodgers cut ties with Bauer in January 2023. Since then, he has played internationally, spending time with Yokohama in Japan during 2023 and 2025, while also competing for Diablos Rojos in Mexico’s professional league in 2024, where he earned pitcher of the year honors.
During his most recent stint in Japan last season, Bauer compiled a 4-10 record with a 4.41 earned run average while pitching for Yokohama.
