The 2014 first round draft pick has ascended rather quickly through the minor league system and is slated to pitch for the Triple-A Sacramento River Cats in 2017. Here is what the San Francisco Giants need to see out of Tyler Beede this season.
Beede has been rather successful at every level he has pitched in since the San Francisco Giants drafted him 14th overall out of Vanderbilt in 2014.
He has a fastball that consistently sits in the low-to-mid-90’s, and can even touch 97 late in games.
Beede also throws a changeup, which is his most consistent and effective off-speed pitch, a cutter, and a curveball, which is also effective but he struggles to command it at times.
