Trevor Bauer is known to have some fun on Twitter. Normally chiding other players and making baseball fun for everyone who watches. Turns out he was also paying attention in math class and capable if dispensing knowledge when needed.
It started out simple enough. Bauer didn’t have to answer the initial tweet but after he did, it opened up the floodgates. Suddenly, the pressure was on. Could he answer this math question correctly?
@BauerOutage oh and also do you understand the slope of a line and y intercept? I have a math test coming up I don’t get certain things

for every 1 unit on the x axis go 2 units on the y axis. y intercept is where it crosses the y axis. Make y 0 and figure x.

It’s not everyday a professional athlete helps you out with your homework. Bauer did go to UCLA for a period of time so it isn’t as if he is lacking in the smarts department.
Now the question is what will he do next? Maybe he will help someone finish up their geography homework. If you need a tutor, Bauer might be the man to call, at least in terms of baseball players.
