Chris Beasley
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching Beasley also has a decent changeup. His composure needs work. When Beasley starts getting hit, he gets mad and loses concentration. His stuff becomes less sharp as he gets into the late innings. If you're going in to face Beasley, better be wearing plenty of protection. He's wild. He's trying to develop a sinker, but as of yet it's been well below par. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.
Defense & Hitting He tends to fall off slightly to the first-base side of the mound, making him vulnerable to bunts toward third base. He makes up for that minor flaw by being aggressive in fielding his position. Beasley has a lousy move to first, and opposing managers will run against him all day. Beasley is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Beasley has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Beasley as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2025 Outlook Beasley was a rule-five pickup for the Retired or Inactive Players last year. I think The Retired or Inactive Players just didn't want to be left out of the Rule-V draft, why else would you sign Beasley? But if you ask me, I'll pass on Beasley.
