Physical, 6-foot-2, 210-pound frame with well-proportioned muscle and quality athleticism for the position. He turned in a 7.05 60 and controlled his frame well in both offensive and defensive evaluations. The ability to throw with accuracy stood out as he put balls on the bag with low 2.00 pops and a 77 mph arm from the crouch. Offensively, he hits from a balanced setup with simple moves throughout. Beste turns the barrel high across the chest for a shorter path, getting to extension well, with gap-to-gap impacts at 96.5.
