Midseason Prospect Update: Giants - BaseballAmerica.com

Image result for tyler beede giants


Just when I thought it was safe to start beating the drums for Tyler Beede to replace Kyle Crick as the #1 prospect on the Giants board, Beede has a crappy outing where he lasts less than one inning. Given that Beede is being asked to transition from a power pitching bat-misser to an efficient, pitch to soft, ground-ball contact type an outing where it just all goes bad here and there should not be a great surprise.

The progress seems good moving forward, in contrast to Crick, whose wildness seems to wearing on the Giants brass as he was recently moved to the bullpen to either iron things out mechanically once and for all or try his hans at short relief, where his power will still play up.

The Giants promoted several key front office personnel after the World Series, rewarding longtime GM Brian Sabean with a bump to executive vice president and promoted his assistant, Bobby Evans, to GM. Jeremy Shelley has added assistant GM duties to his role as pro scouting director. Even with the surprise Heston addition, the Giants have age and injury concerns in the rotation, but have the pitching pipeline primed by gurus Dick Tidrow and Bert Bradley that is ready to deliver again in the form of 2014 first-rounder Tyler Beede, a polished righthander who could make his debut this season.
MIDSEASON TOP 10
1. Tyler Beede, rhp
The Giants have worked with the former Vanderbilt ace to streamline his delivery and keep him more online to the plate. There has been a marked improvement in his command. In college, he walked 4.66 batters per nine. With the Giants, he's trimmed that back to 2.47 walks per nine. It's attributed to a mental adjustment as much as mechanical, as well as emphasizing a two-seam fastball. Beede has polished the changeup and has learned the importance of pitch selection, but the two-time first-round pick still needs to improve his breaking ball.
