Overview
- The Scottsdale crash on Wednesday left Bauer uninjured and emergency responders said no one involved required hospital transport.
- Video and photos posted by TMZ and reposted by Long Island Ducks president Michael Pfaff show heavy driver‑side damage and debris scattered at the scene.
- Police have not yet determined fault and sources close to Bauer told outlets he was driving the posted speed limit when another vehicle struck his McLaren.
- Bauer was in Arizona receiving treatment for back spasms after being placed on the Ducks’ injured list and the team says there is no timetable for his return to the mound.
- Bauer last pitched in MLB in 2021, was suspended under MLB’s domestic‑violence and sexual‑assault policy with the penalty later reduced by an arbitrator, has since played overseas and for the Ducks, and observers say the crash does not change ongoing debate over his major‑league prospects.
