Douglas Bauer Gives Ohio State a Workhorse Right-Hander with Real Pitch Mix
In the 2025 season, Douglas Bauer led Ohio State’s pitching staff with 21 appearances, posted a 3-1 record, and struck out 30 across 35.0 innings, showing the kind of durability coaches love in a middle-innings arm. He stands out because he’s not just a thrower: reports describe a true four-pitch mix, including a low- to mid-90s fastball, sinker, slider, and splitter, which gives him some sneaky matchup value. A senior from Houston and OSU Scholar Athlete, he looks like a steady, team-first reliever who can fit a staff needing reliable strike-throwing and competitive edge.
