Trey

Supak

The 29-year-old hurler didn’t walk a batter or record a strikeout in the ballgame. The only hit that he allowed in the contest came on a leadoff double by Luis Campusano to open the third inning. Supak did not get a single swing and miss in 40 pitches on the day, registering a miserable CSW of only 20 percent. Supak has already been optioned out of big league camp and is expected to open the season in the rotation at Triple-A Round Rock.

It’s the first large round of cuts that we have seen from the Rangers this spring but certainly won’t be the last. Nothing surprising to see here as none of the 10 players were serious candidates to crack the Opening Day roster.

Supak was a second-round pick in the 2014 MLB Draft and has yet to reach the big leagues. The 29-year-old hurler posted a solid 3.85 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 131/33 K/BB ratio over 128 1/3 innings over 26 starts between Double-A Friso and Triple-A Round Rock this past season. He’s merely organizational fodder at this stage of his career.

Supak was a second-round pick in the 2014 MLB Draft and has yet to reach the big leagues. The 28-year-old righty made 21 appearances (13 starts) last year between Double-A Tennessee and Triple-A Iowa in Chicago’s system, finishing with a serviceable 4.54 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 72/16 K/BB ratio across 85 1/3 innings. He’s merely extra organizational depth at this stage of his career.

Supak finds himself back in affiliated ball following a strong four-start stretch for the Charleston Dirty Birds of the independent Atlantic League. The 27-year-old righty spent last year in the upper levels of Oakland’s minor league system and has yet to appear in the big leagues. He’s merely extra organizational depth.

Supak, 24, put up some pretty good numbers in the minors with the Brewers, but they removed him from their 40-man roster in September. He’ll look for a fresh start in Oakland.

It’s a bit surprising that Supak didn’t get claimed off waivers by another team after Milwaukee designated him for assignment on Monday. The 24-year-old right-hander was named the Double-A Southern League’s Most Outstanding Pitcher in 2019. He’ll remain a member of the Brewers organization leading into 2021.

The Brewers are shuffling their roster with Billy McKinney claimed off waivers from the Blue Jays and Ray Black coming off the 45-day injured list. Still, it’s surprising to see Supak get the boot. The 24-year-old struggled during his time in Triple-A last year, but he put up a 2.20 ERA and 91/23 K/BB ratio over 122 2/3 innings in Double-A. There’s a decent chance someone will take a shot on him.

Supak received his first call-up to the majors on Monday, but didn’t appear in a game. He’ll now try to stay ready for his next opportunity.

Supak will be making his major league debut whenever he gets into a game. The 24-year-old right-hander posted a 3.60 ERA, 1.03 WHIP, and 118/32 K/BB ratio over 152 2/3 innings last summer between Double-A and Triple-A.
