The #Rays have formally announced that Shane Baz has been promoted to the @DurhamBulls and that he will make his Triple-A debut on Wednesday at Norfolk.
— Neil Solondz (@neilsolondz) June 14, 2021This was not particularly surprising. It was only 32 2⁄3 innings, but with a 40.8 % strikeout rate and 1.7% walk rate, it felt like he had mastered Double A. His strikeout rate ranks eighth among pitchers with 30-plus innings, and his walk rate is second.
It wasn’t all bad for Montgomery, though. Xavier Edwards made his 2021 debut.
