Bailey Ober

The right-hander struck out one batter on the day and didn't allow a base on balls. The 30-year-old right-hander got five swings and misses on 25 pitches in the contest, posting a solid CSW of 32 percent. He was delayed a bit to start the spring in order to work on his mechanics and everything looked to be in sync in Friday's debut. Ober averaged 89.9 mph on his fastball, which is only down slightly (-0.4 mph) from his 2025 average.

"Physically, I'm feeling good," Ober said. "I'm throwing more bullpens this year, just making sure everything mechanically is lined up." After two strong seasons in 2023 and 2024, Ober took a step back in 2025 and also saw his velocity decrease while he was battling a few injuries. Increased focus on mechanics could get Ober back to previous levels, so his first start will be something to keep an eye on when it happens.
