Since joining the Yankees from a trade with the Dodgers, Clayton Beeter has showcased his potential with impressive minor league stats, including a 2.08 ERA despite injury troubles. Following some appearances with the Yankees, the organization intends to transition him to a bullpen role. With injuries affecting key pitchers like Gerrit Cole, Beeter may find an opportunity in the major league roster sooner than anticipated, particularly given his two-pitch approach and high strikeout rate, which suggest a promising future as a reliever.
"Beeter has put up some good numbers, including a 2.08 ERA in the minors last year, albeit in an injury-hampered season."
"The Yankees mentioned that they think his stuff would play up better in the bullpen, and it's hard to disagree there. He's a two-pitch power-ish pitcher who's had good strikeout numbers throughout his minor league career."
"With the current glut of injuries that the Yankees' pitching staff is going through, there very well could be a role for him in the bullpen from the very start."
"The Yankees have said that Beeter is destined for the bullpen, recent injury news may mean there's some sort of role for him to play in the big leagues right from the start of the season."
