Biscuits right-hander Shane Baz (0-1) squared off against Hunter Greene (2-0) each starter having been drafted 12
th and second overall, respectively, in the 2017 Draft and both prospects held their own through the first two scoreless innings.
Greene hit 103 mph on the radar gun at least twice, and filled up the strike zone with mostly 99-102 mph fastballs as well as 87-91 mph sliders. Baz kept pace though, striking out six over four innings. Baz’s lone blemish was surrendering an RBI-single to Alejo Lopez in the third inning to make it a 1-0, Chattanooga
The Lookouts would add three more runs in the top of the fifth thanks to RBI-doubles from Lopez and Mark Kolozsvary, and then an RBI-single by Jose Garcia to make it a 4-0 game against Faustino Carrera.

Notes
I’m going to bet Carroll goes to the Futures Game and ends up promoted to Double-A shortly after the showcase. He’s shown no signs of slowing down after looking like the best player in all of Arizona during 2020 instructs. This is the kind of player who’s going to out-produce his raw power in games because the quality of his contact is just so good. His homer yesterday (which tied the game in the ninth) was hit to the opposite field. It wasn’t like a lot of oppo bombs that rely on brute strength (think of Giancarlo Stanton’s right-center homers) or just happen to suit the swing path of someone with big power (Ryan Howard). Instead, Carroll just dove to try to cover the outer third of the plate and poked the barrel there, and he hit the bottom of the ball with the sweet spot of the bat.
