The Yankees have spent the past few years developing Clayton Beeter as a starting pitcher, but after seeing how his fastball-slider combination dominated in shorter outings, they’re making the move to turn him into a full-time reliever.
At 26 years old, Beeter is finally over the injury hurdles that slowed his development, and he could end up being a real weapon out of the bullpen this season.
Transitioning to a Reliever Role
Beeter had a strong 2023 season as a starter, logging 131.2 innings with a 3.62 ERA and 11.28 strikeouts per nine innings.
