Trevor Bauer’s signature strikeout celebration is causing some stirs with a teammate on his Japanese team, the Yokohama DeNA BayStars.
When Bauer has struck out batters in MLB, he has been seen doing a motion where he appears to put a sword in a sheath.
He’s also done so in his games overseas thus far.
Well, ahead of his first NPB start that’s scheduled for Wednesday, the BayStars posted a short video of Bauer encouraging the fans to do the same when he strikes hitters out during his starts, and Yokohama’s closer Yasuaki Yamasaki isn’t a fan.
He responded underneath the tweet from the official BayStars Twitter page.
“Don’t be an idiot. That is disrespectful. There are better ways to go about this,” the tweet translated.
