Former Alabama Pitcher Dylan Ray Leaves Reno Aces Game Early: Roll Call

Former Alabama baseball closer Dylan Ray departed from Wednesday's Reno Aces game despite only having faced four hitters.

The right-hander's fastball was down from its normal velocity range.

Though him leaving the contest with a trainer provides all needed indication that he's dealing with some manner of injury issue, the decreased fastball speeds are also a tell.

Ray took over closing duties for the Crimson Tide during the 2022 season, his last in college, succeeding Chase Lee (who made his MLB debut this year with the Detroit Tigers) in that role.

Ray got the call to Triple-A Reno, an Arizona Diamondbacks affiliate, in June.

He has been converted to a starter since joining the professional ranks.

All 28 games he has pitched in this season are starts.

Between the Double-A and Triple-A levels, he has worked to a 5.45 earned run average in 140.1 innings, striking out 123.
