Professional career

After signing, Bachar made his professional debut with the rookie-level Arizona League Padres before earning promotions to the Fort Wayne TinCaps of the Single–A Midwest League and the Lake Elsinore Storm of the High–A California League. Over 15 games between the three clubs, he went 2–2 with a 3.19 ERA. [10] In 2017, he began the year back in the Arizona League before being promoted back to Fort Wayne. [11] Over 13 games (seven starts), he pitched to a 5–1 record, a 3.38 ERA, and 47 strikeouts over 50+2⁄3 innings. Bachar began the 2018 season with Lake Elsinore and was promoted to the San Antonio Missions of the Double–A Texas League in May. [12] He went 5–9 with a 4.68 ERA over 27 games (18 starts), pitching a total of 115+1⁄3 innings between the two teams. [13] In 2019, he appeared in 24 games (19 starts) for the Amarillo Sod Poodles of the Double–A Texas League, going 8–4 with a 3.98 ERA and 126 strikeouts over 126+2⁄3 innings. [14] [15]

[17] [18] He played the 2022 season with San Antonio. [19] Over 27 games (seven starts), he went 5–3 with a 6.15 ERA, 44 strikeouts, and 18 walks over 45+1⁄3 innings. [20] In 2023, Bachar spent his second straight season with Double–A San Antonio, making 42 appearances and registering a 2.69 ERA with 69 strikeouts and 5 saves across 60+1⁄3 innings pitched.

[23] In 44 games for the Triple–A El Paso Chihuahuas, he posted a 5–3 record and 4.12 ERA with 81 strikeouts across 67+2⁄3 innings pitched. On August 25, Bachar was promoted to the major leagues for the first time. [24] However, he went unused out of the bullpen and was optioned to Triple–A the next day, becoming a phantom ballplayer. [25] Bachar was designated for assignment by the Padres on September 1. [26]
