The Cleveland Indians’ pitcher isn’t allowed to fly his drone over the team’s spring training facility

Baseball is back as pitchers and catchers have reported to spring training. Pretty soon the rest of teams will be joining and the first spring training games will get underway. In Goodyear, Arizona, Trevor Bauer had a little fun with his homemade drone at the team’s spring training facility that they share with the Cincinnati Reds.

It appears that his time flying the drone has come to an end.

While their are no rules against the players flying around homemade drones, their is a giant active airstrip that planes fly in and out of across the street from the Indians and Reds spring training complex.

It appears location has really defeated Bauer on this one.

MLB has grounded Trevor Bauer's drone. They don't want him to be flying it over the Tribe's spring-training complex.

Still, the Indians right-hander was a good sport and offered to have any new rules relating to drones be named after him.

Hey @MLB if my drone is really banned, can I at least have that rule named in my honor?

On the bright side for Bauer, his drone was able to capture a sweet picture overlooking the spring training complex before it got grounded for good.

So until Opening Day, the only thing that will be taking flight out of the Goodyear training complex will be balls hit out of the yard.
