Trevor Bauer has a drone. He just can't fly it.

This is kind of a weird one to write.

Indians pitcher Trevor Bauer had been tweeting aerial photos of the club's Arizona spring training facility. It's a pretty good bird's eye view.

He got them with the use of a drone that he built himself, according to MLB.com.

But no more.

Major League Baseball has banned Bauer's drone — which is a pretty weird sentence to write.

Francona said MLB advised team to not allow Bauer to fly his homemade quadcopter over the Spring Training complex. Against regulations. — Jordan Bastian (@MLBastian) February 20, 2015

Hey @MLB if my drone is really banned, can I at least have that rule named in my honor? — Trevor Bauer (@BauerOutage) February 20, 2015
