Brian Beman
Starting Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players
Pitching He has the ability to coax groundballs, which helps him succeed. He's a good late inning man, which is when being a pitcher really counts. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. If you're going in to face Beman, 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 doesn't hold runners very close, which gives his catcher a bit of a workout. Beman seems distracted after his delivery. He's sometimes out of position, fails to cover a base or doesn't back up throws. Beman is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Beman has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Beman as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2025 Outlook Beman flat-out isn't ready for this level of competition. Expect the Retired or Inactive Players to send him down promptly. But if you ask me, I'll pass on Beman.
