Boise State’s ground-ball artist with big-game upside
In the 2025 season, Olivia Bauer emerged as a key Boise State arm, posting a team-leading 3.94 ERA across a team-high 92 1/3 innings while going 9-5 with a save, and she even threw three no-hitters, including a perfect game. Her calling card is poise under pressure and a sinker-driven profile that can rack up ground-ball outs, making her a fit if your team wants a pitcher who competes, absorbs volume, and can flip a lineup on a good day. The flip side: 2026 box scores show some volatility, so she looks more like a high-upside competitor than a polished, low-variance ace.
