In case you missed it, after pretty much being blackballed by Major League Baseball, former Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Trevor Bauer has bounced across professional leagues/overseas to play baseball, and he’s now on the Long Island Ducks. The Ducks compete in the North Division of the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball, an independent “partner league” of Major League Baseball.
On Sunday, Trevor Bauer threw a no-hitter (in seven innings), and the Ducks won 13-0 in a run rule. It was a scheduled seven-inning game, per reports.

After getting handed a 180-game suspension from commissioner Rob Manfred, Trevor Bauer has been unable to land on an MLB team, but he’s a controversial player because some think he’s still good enough to play in the bigs, and some don’t.
After his seven-inning no-hitter on Sunday afternoon, there was a large amount of buzz on social media. Here are some of the best outings, leading off with Trevor Bauer himself:
