Clayton Beeter Moving To Full-Time Relief Role
41 seconds agoAccording to Joel Sherman of the New York Post, New York Yankees pitching prospect Clayton Beeter is moving to a full-time role out of the bullpen. Beeter, who is considered the No. 19 prospect in the Yankee system on MLB Pipeline and has typically been deployed as a starter in the minor leagues. Yankee pitching coach Matt Blake noted that Beeter's "fastball and slider mix is best suited for relief." Beeter was given a brief look in the major leagues last season and held a 4.91 ERA with a 1.36 WHIP across three 2/3 innings. He struck out five batters. Across 107 career frames at Triple-A, the Texas Tech product holds a 4.04 ERA with a 1.35 WHIP. He has flashed strong strikeout upside as he tallied 140 over this stint. Fantasy managers should expect Beeter to compete for a spot in the Yankee bullpen during spring training. However, he is battling a minor shoulder issue but is not expected to miss time early in the season.
