Bailey Ober Velocity Decline Continues in Spring Start

Bailey Ober struggled in his latest Grapefruit League appearance against the Phillies, allowing one run on two hits and two walks over 8.2 total frames this spring. Notably, his fastball velocity failed to crack 90 mph, averaging just 88.2 mph during the outing. With only three strikeouts across three appearances, the 30-year-old is facing a critical window to regain form before Opening Day, following a 2025 season where he recorded a 5.10 ERA.
