#8 Trevor Bauer<\/p>\n

Arizona Diamondbacks<\/p>\n

DOB: 1\/17\/1991<\/p>\n

Previous Rank: N\/A<\/p>\n

ETA: 2012<\/p>\n

The Sombrero considered Trevor Bauer the No. 3 prospect going into the 2011 draft, exactly where he was selected.\u00a0 Granted, we had Rendon at No. 1 and Bundy at No. 2, and both were selected after Bauer, but we still anticipated Bauer being both the easiest and cheapest sign of the truly elite prospects in 2011 class.<\/p>\n

Bauer struggled upon his call-up to Double-A, but he was severely overworked at UCLA, and Towers made the correct move to shut him down rather than including him on the NLDS roster \u2013 although he could have helped.\u00a0 After earning the Golden Spikes and setting numerous records at UCLA, Bauer signed an incentive-laden deal worth as much as $7 million, but with only $4.45 guaranteed.\u00a0 The contract was genius, and in a year or two will certainly look like a bargain for the D-Backs.<\/p>\n

Bauer features some of the most unconventional pitching mechanics in the game, but he has always been tested as far as pitch counts go and has never really been injured.\u00a0 We at The Sombrero are onboard in terms of challenging tradition so long as whatever challenges they may be can hold up against the empirical scrutiny of the game.<\/p>\n

He features a fastball that can reach 98 mph, a boulder of a curveball that receives consistent 70s and the occasional 80, a plus slider and changeup, and a solid splitter.\u00a0 Bauer is a tremendous athlete that has constantly overcome his lack of physicality.\u00a0 He trains incredibly hard and truly knows what it means to compete.\u00a0 Trevor Bauer should win a Cy Young Award or two for Arizona and represents everything that a young pitcher should desire to be.<\/p>\n
