Beaman

PBR Bay Area Open - Athletic build with some present strength and well-proportioned 5-foot-10, 155-pound body. Displayed good body control and refined mechanics that he's clearly put some time into. Hooks cleats over the rubber though does align the post foot toward the right-handed batters box. That alignment does create a slight cross-body stride which didn't hinder him in regard to throwing strikes. Good body control throughout delivery and maintained balance and direction on each pitch. Holds hands pretty tightly to the body and has a controlled takeaway out of the glove, but could create some more fluidity. Deep backside arm action, some inversion of the elbow. Displayed three-pitch mix with ability to locate all three pitches. Somewhat shorter stride allows him to create some downward fastball angle (72-76 mph). Mixed in some big 11/6 curveballs (61-65 mph) and showed a usable circle change-up (72-74 mph) that had late dip through the zone.
