Scouting report
The Twins added Ober to their 40-man this offseason even though he was neither at the alt site nor Instructional League. He doesn't throw hard at all and his cut/life fastball only sits 86-88, but Ober's giant 6-foot-9 frame and delivery create really tough angle on his stuff, and he locates at the top of the zone with consistency. In fact, the consistency with which he executes all four of his pitches is pretty remarkable considering Ober's size and lack of athleticism. He recently told MiLB.com that his body feels horrible the day after he pitches, and he spent 2020 trying to rework his body and delivery to prevent this. I have him projected as a "look" reliever, the kind whose stuff works in short bursts because of how weird it is for hitters to suddenly have to face someone with a strange delivery, similar to guys like Josh Collementer and the Rays low-leverage middle relievers.
