Terrifying footage has emerged of former MLB pitcher Trevor Bauer looking dazed and confused after his horror car crash in Arizona on Wednesday.
Bauer, who was blackballed by franchises in 2021 over allegations of sexual assault, escaped unhurt after another driver collided with his $600k McLaren sports car and sent him spinning out of control, per TMZ.
The outlet published several photos and videos of the accident in Scottsdale, which the 35-year-old is not believed to have been at fault for.
Now a new video – obtained by the Daily Mail – has surfaced of Bauer’s initial reaction moments after the crash at around 2:30pm Wednesday in Scottsdale.
A bystander is seen walking up to his McLaren, which was resting against a street pole after it had just been hit on the driver’s side door by a sedan.
Bauer then slid across the passenger seat and climbed out of the car, before a witness is heard saying: ‘Holy s***. Dude, don’t move too fast. That was a direct hit.’

The witness then takes a look at his damaged vehicle and the other car involved, which had its front end crushed in the collision. Parts of the car were also left strewn about the road.
Officials have reportedly confirmed that nobody was injured or even taken to hospital as a result of the crash.
Sources close to Bauer reportedly told TMZ that he was driving in the 45mph speed zone and in the correct lane when the other driver crashed into him, sending him spinning out of control.
In images from the aftermath of the crash, the former Los Angeles Dodgers player – wearing a backwards cap – can be seen chatting with police officers at the scene of the incident, and it is understood none of the involved parties needed hospital treatment.
It has been reported that Bauer was in Arizona for medical treatment, though – on the back injury that has currently left him on the Long Island Ducks injury list.
Ex-MLB star Bauer appeared to be having a tough time understanding what had just happened
The veteran pitcher has been suffering back spasms during his time in the ‘Atlantic League of Professional Baseball’, but still remains hopeful of sealing another opportunity with a Major League team.
It is not the first time Bauer has suffered a scary incident involving one of his McLaren supercars, after he posted a photo back in 2019 of his smashed up 650S vehicle.
Alongside the photo, he wrote: ‘Yesterday, if you told me a semi truck would total my McLaren, I [wouldn’t] have believed you. If you told me it would happen like THIS? I would’ve said you’re out of your mind. If this isn’t mayhem I don’t know what is.’
TMZ reported at the time that his car was parked at the local dealership when a tire flew off a truck, smashed through the window and landed on top of his car.
Bauer continues his search for a return to Major League Baseball after serving his suspension – initially 324 games but reduced to 194.
He was never criminally charged after a San Diego woman made sexual assault allegations against him, and he has always maintained his innocence.

Speaking last week, he revealed that no teams in MLB have taken the opportunity to sign him – even though he’s offered to play for free.
The former Cy Young Award winner had hoped his move back to America with the Long Island Ducks would pave the way to an eventual return but, according to Bauer, that doesn’t seem likely.
Speaking on OutKick’s ‘Don’t @ Me with Dan Dakich’, Bauer explained: ‘I don’t know exactly what goes on behind the scenes. I have my suspicions, of course.
‘All I know is what the pattern is that we see. I can’t tell you how many different teams we’ve talked to.’
