Squirrels' Beede shines in Double-A debut | MiLB


Looks like Young Beede, or whatever his rap moniker is, wants to push young Kyle Crick for the role of top prospect in the Giants system. Help is on the way for an aging pitching staff.

Squirrels' Beede shines in Double-A debut

Giants prospect allows two hits, extends shutout streak to 20 innings

By Alex Kraft / MiLB.com



The Vanderbilt product, drafted 14th overall by the Giants a year ago, extended his streak of scoreless outings to three games and 20 innings, a run in which he's issued five walks while recording 18 strikeouts.
"I think it's a combination of things," Beede said. "It's being able to trust the process with my mechanics and stay focused on each pitch.
"My biggest goal has been not to give in but embrace imperfection. To embrace the situation, get back in the count and allow that ground ball to turn into double plays and quick innings. Big credit to my coaching staff and defense as well."
Although the 6-foot-4 hurler was pleased with his Eastern League debut, he also sees it as something to build on.
"I try to build on every outing, good or bad," Beede said. "I try to take positives from each and take something from each outing to work on in bullpens. The biggest thing for me is 'How can I get better tomorrow?'"
Mac Williamson -- San Francisco's No. 12 prospect -- collected three hits, including a two-run homer, and four RBIs for Richmond. Shortstop Rando Moreno went 5-for-6 with a pair of RBIs.
