He pitched 94 innings for Oakland, posting a 7.09 ERA, 13.5% strikeout rate, and 11.6% walk rate. The right-hander was claimed off waivers by the Seattle Mariners last July. He stayed on optional assignment before being outrighted at season\u2019s end. Despite his rough numbers, Oller punched out 26.4% of batters faced in a swing role for Triple-A Columbus. Going back to 2021, Oller has struck out 25.2% of batters faced in 293 \u2154 minor league innings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For the time being, Oller will serve as a depth piece for the Marlins who can fill innings if needed.

Oller could be a long-term piece for the Fish if he can improve his command and carry his punchout powers to the majors.
