Trevor Bauer is a total nerd.
Full-time nerd and part-time Indians pitcher Trevor Bauer lent a helping hand to a young fan on Friday night, helping out with some questions regarding slope.
A fan by the name of “Maddie Martin” must have know that Bauer is a math and science buff, and hooked him in with a question about his drone before hitting him with inquiries regarding an upcoming test. Here’s how the exchange started:
@BauerOutage when you are in Ohio where do you fly your drone+ how much did your drone cost?

I find a park with no people at it and depending what gear I have on it between 350 and 1000 ish each
— Trevor Bauer (@BauerOutage) November 12, 2016
Then came the math questions.
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
— Maddie Martin (@m_martin2021) November 12, 2016
what's the question
— Trevor Bauer (@BauerOutage) November 12, 2016
I'm not home but I'll try to remember it's like y•2=x and you have to graph it on the line and say the y intercept
— Maddie Martin (@m_martin2021) November 12, 2016
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.

ok so I checked the website on my phone and I will get 2/5 as the slope but the right answer is 2 so I will put 2& its wrong
— Maddie Martin (@m_martin2021) November 12, 2016
how do you come up with 2/5?
— Trevor Bauer (@BauerOutage) November 12, 2016
there are like 2 points on a graph and you find out the slope of the 2 points and you would move up 2 and over 5 to get to the
— Maddie Martin (@m_martin2021) November 12, 2016
might just be a flaw in the website then. That happens sometimes
— Trevor Bauer (@BauerOutage) November 12, 2016
yeah maybe,I'm in the edge of strongsville and I live in Brunswick hills so I'm almost there I'll get the exact questions then
— Maddie Martin (@m_martin2021) November 12, 2016
the question is y-8=x and it says to plot (-2,6) (0,8) (2,10) and I don't get where they got that pic.twitter.com/CKOEE7rTq4
— Maddie Martin (@m_martin2021) November 12, 2016
(-4,4) also works, as does (5,13) etc
— Trevor Bauer (@BauerOutage) November 12, 2016
ooohhh I think I got it now thank you so much
— Maddie Martin (@m_martin2021) November 12, 2016
hope that helped!
— Trevor Bauer (@BauerOutage) November 12, 2016
Happy I could help! Good luck on the test! https://t.co/ufElqh7i6m

Wow, what a wild Friday night in the life of a baseball player.
