Shane Baz Has Been Impressive
3 years agoTampa Bay Rays right-hander Shane Baz, baseball's No. 71 prospect, matched his career-high with 10 strikeouts and allowed two hits over five shutout innings for Triple-A Durham on Sunday. Baz retired the last 12 hitters for his fourth scoreless outing of the year. The 24-year-old had a 3.57 ERA in May, but he finishes the month of June by allowing only two runs in 24 innings over five starts with Durham and Double-A Montgomery. On the year, he has a 2.12 ERA, a 0.77 WHIP and 69/5 K/BB in 46 2/3 innings pitched. Baz's improved control and command has been impressive in 2021, and he could be an option to pitch in relief later this year at the big league level. Baz's fastball/slider combination is nasty, but for now, he's strictly a dynasty stash.
