After a 4 IP, zero earned run start with the Burlington Bees on May 12th the young, aspiring future LA Angel was given his ticket to ride up the organization once more. At the age of 22, in his second season, Jeremy Beasley made his debut with the Inland Empire 66ers.
It’s very easy to see why the promising athlete was given his promotion to Class A Advanced after 23 IP; he kept hitters under a .200 batting average while simultaneously hobbling their power by holding them to a .266 slugging percentage. Not only we’re hitters missing the ball at an unbelievable rate, but when he did get opposing hitters on contact they may as well have been swinging wet newspapers.
