Going from double a to the majors.

Has anyone been called up to the majors straight from double a and if so when did they call you up
-
Shortly after the minor league ASG. I always get promoted at that point regardless of which position. Sometimes to MLB sometimes to AAA. I think it depends on which team I am with along with the position selected.
-
I am a short stop for the reds and it is may I am an 79 overall which is six points hire than any short stop on the team and only three points from the best overall on the whole team and I am still sitting at aa

The promotion engine in RTTS is trash. I have a 2-way player in the Blue Jays organization playing SP and SS. Yeah, being blocked at MLB level by Bo Bichette, but perhaps I'll be traded. Anyway. I'm batting .421 and just knocked my 20th home run and I just entered July. My pitcher is 12-0, 2 perfect games (yeah!) and just a tick under 200 strikeouts, zero walks a sun 0.50 ERA and a WHIP about the same. I usually strike out 14-17 batters a game...and you guessed it...I'm still stuck in AA. It would be nice if the game treated players a bit more like reality. A 2-way player with those stats in reality would have been in AAA or Toronto by now.

There seems to be "locks" / "hardcoding" on the promotion schedule.
I'm on my 4th RTTS ballplayer right now, and he makes it a perfect 4/4 on my players reaching AAA within a week of the ASB.
2 of the 4 made the bigs the first week (1-5) of Aug. IIRC, my "control pitcher" for STL got his call up "effective" on the 5th (his turn in the rotation) and my break starter/C made his debut 1 Aug, with his start being like the 3rd.
My closer made the bigs sometime around 8-10 Aug, because he was traded and had to "put in some time" at AA for the new club (traded from BOS's AAA to WAS, who put him right into AA for like 3 appearahces) then needed 3 more in WAS AAA before getting called up.My 4th is a "work in progress" as to reaching the bigs. However, I'm expecting a 1 Aug callup for him, because his batting overall (which is less than his pitching one) will still be higher than the overrall of the 5th starter on STL's rotation.
And to a point I started expecting this, because my RTTS 21 player suffered almost the same fate. Control pitcher in the Royals organization, he made AAA days after the ASB (so that he got both the futures and AA ASG start) and made the majors with a first start of 5 Aug...

I've done 3 different ones. All 3 times I was only on AAA for a week or 2.

As I said yesterday, I'll post updates on #4's career, so that we can have a record / notes for comparison on this:
Player #4, received his call-up to AAA on 7/13 to field, first start 7/15, and was in Futures game. Second start 7/24, exhausted pitching arm so got 7/26 off as well as 7/25 off day. Also given 7/28 off. third start 7/30. 82 OVR in his "pitcher" loadout, 80 in his "fielding" loadout. As a SP/2B, his "competition" on the St. Louis roster is Pineda & Matz for SP at 77, with Mikolas @ 81 and Wainwright's 86. Edman is the 2B at 89.
Played to 8/10. Up to 81/82 2B/SP. Still no call up, longest AAA stint for all my players...

That's interesting. All 3 of mine got call up to AAA around the time of the futures game also. All 3 went to the show in early August.

8/15. 81/84 2B/SP overalls. Finally got the call.
Of note, 8/14 game brought my 2B overall to 81, and somewhere in the intervening days Mikolas' OVR dropped to 80, suddenly making my 81 2B OVR "high enough" to qualify as third starter. Which is where I show up in the roster.
And for the record, I "went back" and loaded each of my ballplayers and am looking at the "events and awards" screen, which has first appearance dates. Might not be 100% accurate as to exact call-up date, but close enough for "research" purposes here:
Control Pitcher: 7/13 AAA, 8/3 first MLB start
Break Closer: 7/13 AAA, trade to WAS & put in AA "undated", re-promotion to AAA "undated", 8/26 first MLB appearance
Break SP/C: 7//16 AAA, 8/16 1st MLB AB
And my "new" player, as documented above, 7/13 - 8/15... -
The promotion aspect is absolute trash in the game. I won the triple crown in Triple A, wasn't invited to spring training as a CF. I was tied with the back up CF and only a few away from the starter. To make matters worse, I was a two way player relief pitcher with 0.78 era. I accomplished a similar feat the following year and was not called up. The next year I was finally given a contract as a MLB player and got to go to spring training.

In several season 1s I've never been directly called up in MLBTS22. The time frame seems to be AAA around the all star break, MLB around the trade deadline. I have stayed in AAA for the full year, but only as a CP or 2 way.
