Dominic Mauro brings swing-and-miss stuff and late-inning value to Cincinnati
Mauro looks like a useful bullpen arm for Cincinnati because he has shown he can miss bats and handle leverage, striking out 43 in 41 innings in the 2026 season and piling up 48 strikeouts in 44.2 innings at Northwood in 2025, where he also logged three saves and a 3.02 ERA.[4][1] His fastball has reportedly touched 96.7 mph, which gives him a clear power arm profile, and his recent work suggests a reliever who can attack hitters in shorter bursts rather than just survive innings.[3][11]
