  • Age: 20
  • 2021 MILB Teams: A
  • GP: 6

  • W-L: 2-2

Tekoah Roby has been a pleasant surprise for the Rangers organization this year.  Roby made his professional debut starting six games for Down East (A).  He has continued his dominance in the Fall Instructional League.

Roby needs to build up arm strength before he can move up a level.  The Rangers are going to be careful with Roby and he will likely start 2022 back at Down East, at least to start the year.  If all goes well, Roby should make it to Hickory (A+) by the All-Star break.
