[6] He made his professional debut in 2021 with the Lynchburg Hillcats of the Low-A East and was promoted to the Lake County Captains of the High-A Central and the Akron RubberDucks of the Double-A Northeast during the season.

He pitched five innings and gave up eight hits, three earned runs, and one walk while striking out three in a 7–5 loss. [12]

Curry was initially optioned to Triple-A Columbus to begin the 2023 season.
