2021 MLB DraftComing into the season, the 6-foot-2, 205-pound righty relied on big-time pitch ability, but an uptick in velocity made him an arm to keep an eye on throughout the spring. He earned Pac-12 Pitcher of the Year honors and was up to 96 in a College World Series appearance. The younger brother of Braves prospect Tristan, who was a fourth-round pick out of Stanford in 2018, Brendan's best offering is a big-breaking 11/5 curveball. He his mature beyond his years and calm, cool and collected on the mound. It puts on a clinic carving through opponent's lineups. He commands four pitches that he legitimately can throw at any time to any batter. He moves his fastball to all quadrants, working both sides of the plate and occasionally changing eye levels. That's nothing new for Beck, who has had terrific command throughout his career, averaging less than 2.2 walks per nine innings over 52 appearances (44 starts) and more than 274 innings.

2020 DRAFT: Younger brother of 2018 Atlanta 4th round selection, Tristan Beck. Sturdy, strong and well-proportioned at 6-foot-2, 215-pounds, he displays body control during his delivery. Lower body stability is good, particularly with the secondary pitches. He occasionally over-rotates his backside on the fastball, presumably in an effort to add velocity. Stride is on-line, and his arm to work cleanly/quickly/easily. Head doesn't wobble a bit. Will get deep on the backside with a calm stab/extension below his waist. The body control and delivery allow him, at his best, to be among the top strike throwers in the college game. Beck can pound the zone with four pitches and though he has high level pitch ability, he needs to learn to go out of the zone more often due to raw stuff that has minimal margin for error. The fastball sat 87-90 mph early in this shortened season, yet has been seen up to 92, with hints of sink on the arm side. Slider is his best pitch, with late short break 82-85 mph. He will also throw an 11/5 curveball at 77-78 mph with good spin and depth. His changeup was a little hit and miss early on this season at 79-84 mph. Beck's makeup is strong and the track record of showing high level pitchability are part of what make him attractive to clubs with hopes that the raw stuff can still spike. His ceiling may not be as high as others, but his floor is also higher than many.
