The Rays continue to roll through simulation games as they prep for a season start, and the Shane's SHINED into the weekend! Both Baz & McClanahan pitched some powerful stuff proving the depth in the bullpen is there. Check the guys throwing heat here...
VIA MLB.com: ST. PETERSBURG -- Though the Rays enter the 2020 season with World Series aspirations, the organization has also stockpiled enough talent throughout the Minors to give it the No. 1 farm system in baseball, per MLB Pipeline.
Wander Franco, the top overall prospect in the game, leads the way, but Tampa Bay has also continued its tradition of having multiple highly touted pitching prospects, which the Rays believe will help them extend their window of contention.
On Sunday, the Rays got a firsthand look at Shane McClanahan and Shane Baz, two of the prized pitching prospects in the Rays' 60-man player pool.
“That’s pretty exciting stuff to watch,” said Rays manager Kevin Cash. “Every hitter came out of the box with their eyes open wide, because that’s as good of stuff as you’ll see from 20 or 22-year-old young men.”
