2021 MLB Draft: The Yankees take Brendan Beck 55th overall

The New York Yankees are adding Stanford right-handed pitcher Brendan Beck with the 55th pick in the 2021 MLB Draft.

Beck is a guy who doesn’t necessarily overpower hitters, but he has great command of four different pitches.

From Baseball America‘s scouting report:

Ht: 6-2 | Wt: 190 | B-T: R-R
Commit/Drafted: Never Drafted
Age At Draft: 22.8
RapScore: 47
BA Grade: 45 | Risk: High
Fastball: 55 | Curveball: 45 | Slider: 50 | Changeup: 55 | Control: 55

“The younger brother of Giants pitching prospect Tristan Beck, Brendan spent four seasons in Stanford’s rotation and blossomed into one of the top pitchers in the Pac-12 Conference this spring.
