Low fastball velo isn't slowing down Bailey Ober's rebound from worst year of career

Bailey Ober’s fastball averaged 88.6 mph on Tuesday night, but he nevertheless assembled a masterful two-hit shutout.Ober’s “Maddux” in a 3-0 win over the Miami Marlins was the latest strong effort from the Minnesota Twins pitcher as he adjusts to life with reduced fastball velocity.Coming off the worst season of his life since Little League, one impacted by his diminished heater, limited command of all of his pitches, and entirely too many home runs allowed, Ober is rebounding without the return of his velocity.Advertisement
