Indians Pitcher Spending Offseason Helping Kids With Math Homework On Twitter

So you're a big league pitcher. You've just played the game you love for the past eight months. You went all the way to the World Series just to watch your team give up a 3-1 lead and lose in game seven to the Chicago Cubs, a team that hasn't won the title in 108 previous seasons. The loss made your team, the Indians, the team with the longest World Series drought in the Major Leagues.

Do you think you'd take some time off? Turn off social media and retire to a beach for a month to unwind and rehab the body, maybe?

Not Trevor Bauer...

SHARE this article on Facebook. What a nice guy!

Maddie Martin (@m_martin2021) reached out to Bauer (@BauerOutage) on Twitter.

The 25-year-old is coming off of a successful season pitching for the Cleveland Indians.

She never expected that her favorite big league pitcher would actually respond.

Yeah, no kidding. I keep tweeting Emma Watson about a potential dinner and a movie and she almost never responds. I get how rare this is.

I like how she popped the math question like she was Bauer's mom asking him if he let the dogs out after work.

Like they were about to end the conversation and she thought, "Oh, you know what? While I have him on the phone I might as well ask..."

Turns out Bauer studied mechanical engineering at UCLA.

Engineer and big league baseball player. He's doing pretty alright for himself, I guess.

Then they began speaking in some type of mathematical tongue and I zoned out.

From what I do understand, it seems as though they were making progress. That's good news.

Now he is acting as IT. 

Ladies, he can do it all and by all accounts, he is single. Ask him math questions here.

If you remember way back in this story, Martin wasn't home originally...

So when she finally got home, she sent him a picture of the problem. I wonder if at any point during this he was like, "Why did I respond to this? I am a professional athlete, I don't have to be doing any of this."

By all accounts, he's actually a pretty cool dude.

And they all lived happily ever after.

It's a small gesture by Bauer. I'm sure it was no inconvenience to him and it undoubtedly helped his public image. But all that aside, it's just nice to see random people helping one another out!
