Shane Baz News
Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Shane Baz allowed three earned runs on six hits and one walk while striking out two over 2 1/3 innings in Game 2 of the American League Division Series 14-6 loss to the Boston Red Sox. He did not factor into the decision. The Rays rookie phenom was removed from Friday's game after 47 pitches. He yielded three earned runs on six hits in the third inning, including a solo blast to Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts. Baz was impressive in a brief stint in the majors, owning a 2.03 ERA, 0.68 WHIP, and 18 :3 K: BB over 13 1/3 innings. The 22-year-old will look for better results in his next time out on the mound.
Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Shane Baz allowed one earned run on one hit and two walks while striking out four over 2 2/3 innings during Saturday's 12-2 win over the New York Yankees. He did not factor into the decision. The rookie phenom threw 51 pitches, landing 28 for strikes. Tampa Bay has the best record in the league, and with the No.1 seed locked up, decided to pull Baz early on Saturday to preserve his arm for the postseason. Baz finishes the 2021 campaign with a 2.03 ERA, 0.68 WHIP, and 18:3 K: BB over 13 1/3 innings. The 22-year-old will be an intriguing name and a high-upside pick in upcoming 2022 fantasy drafts.

He cruised through 5 2/3 innings and didn't let the Marlins get into scoring position until the sixth frame.

Baz debuted in late 2021, throwing just 13.1 innings but posting a sparkling line of a 2.03 ERA, a 0.68 WHIP, a 37% K%, and a 6% BB%. It is wise to take those numbers with a large grain of salt, but they become a bit more believable when you look at what he did in the minor leagues. In 78.2 innings between AA and AAA, he gave up just 18 earned runs (a 2.17 ERA) while striking out 113 batters and walking just 13. Those are very impressive numbers regardless of who he put them up against, most young pitchers cannot get that many strikeouts while limiting walks to that extent. In the Majors, his four-seam fastball averaged 97 miles per hour and racked up a very high 13% SwStr% (on 108 offerings). He also posted excellent swinging-strike rates on his curveball (18.9%) and slider (23.8%). This is a very impressive pitch arsenal and an even more impressive minor league track record. Fantasy players seem privy to all of this, as Baz is being drafted in the top 150. The Rays are also not likely to let him exceed 150 innings next year, which takes away some of the upside, but the sky is the limit for what this kid can do while he's on the mound. It would be wise to buy in at this price while you can.
