Prospect Roundup August 1st Games: Shane Baz

Shane Baz (Bristol 2018; Princeton 2018) was a standout performer on Thursday.

Rays RHP Shane Baz , Class A Bowling Green: 5.2 IP, 3 H, 1 R/ER, 4 BB, 2 K -- The Rays' sixth-ranked prospect was once again able to limit the damage. He has given up 18 hits and 15 walks over his last four starts, but only a total of seven earned runs in that span. On Thursday, he at one point retired nine consecutive batters and did not allow a runner to reach second base until the sixth, when two hits and a walk loaded the bases before a wild pitch enabled the game's first run to cross the plate. Reds righty Eduardo Salazar tossed six two-hit innings for Dayton, striking out five and walking one.
