He played in the Major Leagues for several teams, including the Chicago Cubs, Atlanta Braves, Los Angeles Dodgers, and the Baltimore Orioles. Ohman was known for his effectiveness as a reliever, especially in high-leverage situations, utilizing his deceptive delivery and sharp breaking pitches to challenge hitters. His career was marked by his ability to generate strikeouts, finishing with a total of 336 during his time on the mound. Throughout his career, Ohman compiled a win-loss record of 12-16 and an earned run average (ERA) of 4.28.
