‘Definitely a geek move’ Bauer encouraged fans to vote in the unusual All-Star Game, even bet on prizes

 Trevor Bauer (32, Yokohama DeNA Baystars) is catching attention with his outstanding behavior in Japan.

Japan’s Full Count said on the 7th (Korean time), “Bauer is encouraging his fans to vote in an unusual way through his Twitter.”

Voting here refers to voting for the All-Star Game. The Japan Professional Baseball All-Star Game will be held on July 19th. A fan vote is underway to select the players to participate in this.

NPB made an announcement in the middle of the fan vote that day. Bauer was named in the Central League starting pitcher category, and is in 7th place, down 1 place from 6th place the previous day.

Then Bauer took action himself. He encouraged fans to vote through his own Twitter account. He walked up to a certain prize. He promised to shoot a 30-minute All-Star Vlog video and give it to me.

Fans reacted too. According to Japan Full Count, voices such as “It’s an attractive proposal. He voted for the first time in his life” and “I have no choice but to (vote) this” are coming out.안전놀이터

However, there is no significant effect. As of 5 p.m. on the 7th, it still ranks 7th with 43,613 votes. The first place is Murakami Shoki (Hanshin) with 175,799 votes. It has more than four times more votes than Bauer. The deadline for fan voting is the 18th. Will Bauer’s efforts really pay off? Attention is drawn to the voting results.
