Cardinals RHP prospect Tekoah Roby threw 9 2/3 shutout innings in his three starts in the Arizona Fall League.

Roby missed the second half of 2025 and all of 2026 after having Tommy John surgery, so the Cardinals made a plan for him to make three starts in the Arizona Fall League. In those starts, he allowed no runs on six hits (all singles) in 9 2/3 innings while striking out 13 and walking one. “I was very pleased with the results, and also my own evaluations...That’s what this was about, pitching against hitters with a pitch clock rolling and guys on base. I was really happy I got to pitch with some traffic,” Roby said. He’s unlikely to begin 2027 in the Cardinals’ rotation given how much time he missed, but he could be an option soon after if he begins the season well at Triple-A.
