Next Friday marks exactly three years since Trevor Bauer last appeared in an MLB game.

Then a member of the Los Angeles Dodgers, he tossed six innings of two-run ball while striking out eight batters, recording the win.

Two days later, he was hit with sexual assault allegations, which eventually led to a 324-game suspension (the equivalent of two seasons), which was reduced to 184, for violating the league's Joint Domestic Violence, Sexual Assault and Child Abuse Policy.

After an All-Star season in Japan last year, Bauer is dominating the Mexican League, pitching to a 2.37 ERA with a 1.02 WHIP and 12.3 K/9.
