Bailey Ober's Pitching Struggles: Overcoming Hip Issues
Bailey Ober faced significant challenges last season, battling persistent hip problems that affected his pitching. Matthew Leach, from MLB.com, reports that Ober's hip issues were a constant struggle, both before and after his IL trip in July. Ober himself described the struggle, saying, 'I just never felt like I had a stable base throwing. It felt like my release was off almost every single throw.'
Despite the setbacks, Ober remained optimistic and suggested at TwinsFest that he has fully recovered this offseason. Interestingly, Ober continued to pitch while dealing with inflammation, using medication to manage the pain and throwing on the side. While it's challenging to fully dismiss the idea of a complete turnaround given the severity of his collapse last season, the explanation provides some insight into his struggles.
