The <b>Houston Astros designated him for assignment<\/b> earlier in the week to make room for another pitcher. New York took swift advantage of the waiver priority to bring him into the organization.<\/p>\n<p>Ort joins <b>Rule 5 draft pick Cade Winquest<\/b> in competing for bullpen spots during spring training. The Yankees&#8217; general lack of offseason activity has given them flexibility on their roster. This move signals the team&#8217;s continued focus on building depth behind established stars.<\/p>\n<h2>Hard Fastball Offers Swing and Miss Potential<\/h2>\n<p>The reliever&#8217;s strikeout pitch is his most compelling asset. Ort&#8217;s fastball <b>averaged 97.5 mph in 2024<\/b>, with last season clocking in at <b>96.4 mph<\/b> across <b>49 appearances<\/b>. This velocity places him in elite company among MLB relievers. His <b>swing-and-miss ability<\/b> could prove valuable despite recent struggles.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the higher ERA, underlying metrics show promise. Ort posted a <b>3.41 expected ERA<\/b> in 2025, suggesting some regression from outcomes. He held right-handed hitters to a strong <b>.188 average and .628 OPS<\/b>, demonstrating specific strengths.<\/p>\n<h2>2025 Season and Path Back to Relevance<\/h2>\n<table style='width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;margin:20px 0'>\n<tr style='background:#f4f4f4'>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:bold'>Metric<\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:bold'>Ort 2025<\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd;font-weight:bold'>Ort 2024<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>Appearances<\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>49<\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>22<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style='background:#f9f9f9'>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>ERA<\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>4.89<\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>2.55<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>Strikeouts<\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>49<\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>26<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style='background:#f9f9f9'>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>Innings Pitched<\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>46.0<\/td>\n<td style='padding:12px;border:1px solid #ddd'>24.2<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<blockquote style='border-left:4px solid #3498db;padding-left:20px;margin:25px 0;font-style:italic;color:#555'><p>\n&#8220;Ort, the former Red Sox who spent the last two years in Houston, will join the mix to compete for a spot in the Yankees bullpen this spring.&#8221;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p style='font-size:0.9em;color:#666;margin-top:-15px'>\u2014 <b>Greg Joyce<\/b>, New York Post Sports Writer<\/p>\n<h2>Competition Heats Up in Yankees Bullpen Construction<\/h2>\n<p>The <b>Yankees&#8217; projected bullpen<\/b> features established arms like <b>David Bednar<\/b> (closer), <b>Camilo Doval<\/b> (setup), and <b>Fernando Cruz<\/b>.
