Oregon’s hard-nosed late-inning closer with a pro pitch mix
In the 2026 season, Devin Bell gave Oregon a trustworthy back-end arm, finishing with 12 saves and a 3.86 ERA while working 37.1 innings and striking out 41 batters for the Ducks. He stood out for his poise in high-leverage spots, including multiple multi-inning relief outings and several clean late-inning escapes, and his path from Western Oregon to Oregon speaks to a competitor who keeps climbing. Bell was selected by the Dodgers in the 2026 MLB Draft, which says plenty about his fit for a staff that values toughness, strike throwing, and bullpen versatility.
