Trevor Bauer. At this point I feel like there's not much more I can say about the kid. He's carrying the hopes of an entire nation (!) on his shoulders and yet he continues to carry himself with such poise and determination.
↵Our good friends at Arizona Diamondbacks blog AZ Snake Pit graciously and stupendously shared the transcripts of an entire 30-minute interview with The Kid. The interview itself was provided by the fine folks at the Visalia Rawhide where Bauer is now getting his first tastes of pro ball.
↵It's a fantastic interview that goes in all sorts of great places, including this story from Bauer how he got sued for throwing baseballs in the park.

TB: Well, there was a tennis court, and it had a 20-foot high fence, and then there's a big open grass area, where I would launch balls across. I started throwing up there when I was ten, and didn't have any problems until I was 15 or 16. The park employed an instructor to give tennis lessons through Parks and Rec. I think the statement was that the unexpected repetitiveness of the balls hitting the fence was disturbing his tennis classes so then I got suits filed on me for vandalism, disturbing the peace, reckless endangerment - all sorts of fun!
I highly recommend reading the full interview with The Kid.
