Organization Prospect Rankings
TRACK RECORD: Beasley posted a 5.79 ERA in his one season at Clemson and couldn't crack the Tigers' starting rotation, but the Angels saw untapped potential and signed him for $3,000 as a 30th-round pick in 2017. Beasley moved to the rotation in his first season and made good on that hunch by skyrocketing to Double-A. He continued to pitch well in 2019 and reached Triple-A for three starts at the end of the year.
SCOUTING REPORT: Beasley's fastball sits at 92 mph and touches 95-96 mph. His best secondary pitch is a sharp, 83-84-mph splitter with tumble that can miss bats or induce weak contact. He has a decent slider, but the splitter is clearly his out-pitch. Beasley's high-tempo delivery and his bulldog mentality on the mound—he grunts and snarls his way through many games—lead most to believe he's bound for the bullpen, but he holds his stuff and throws strikes enough to remain a starter for now.
THE FUTURE: Beasley is on the cusp of his major league debut in 2020. His splitter gives him an out-pitch that will serve him well as either a starter or multi-inning reliever.
Track Record: Beasley had a rocky junior season after transferring to Clemson from junior college. He fell to the Angels in the 30th round of the 2017 draft. In his first full season as a pro, beasley returned to form, reaching Double-A and leading the Angels' system with a 2.66 ERA. Scouting Report: Beasley has the mentality and mound demeanor of a bulldog, often grutning and smarling his way through appearances, and he's developing the stuff to match. His fastball sits at 92 mph and touched 95-96 mph. His real weapon is a sharp 83-84 mph splitter that draws comparison's to some of the best splitters in the majors, and he backs it up with a decent slider. Beasley's high-tempo delivery and general arm action has a more reliever look to it, but he holds his stuff and throws strikes with above-average control. The Future:Beasley has been compared to Matt Shoemaker with his fastball-splitter combination and has come to be regarded as a huge sleeper in the Angels system. Even if he stalls as a starter, he attacks hitters with the gusto necessary to be a solid reliever.
