Justin Beaumont
Relief Pitcher | Free Agents
Pitching He isn't that tough to hit, but it's difficult to get good loft on his pitches and he seldom gives up the longball. The Free Agents hope he can work on his control a little bit. Every once and a while one slips away from him and either ends up at the backstop or in the right field bleachers. Sometimes I wish he'd just give up on throwing the changeup, it's like a BP ball! Beaumont has no endurance. He's good for an inning an outing, tops. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.
Defense & Hitting His pickoff move is only fair. 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. Beaumont is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Beaumont has some pop in his swing.
2025 Outlook I just don't know if The Free Agents are ever going to get what they expect out of him.
