Tyler Beede

Good morning, baseball fans. Happy Friday! The San Francisco Giants are headed to Missouri today as they prepare to take on the St. Louis Cardinals once again. Some news broke yesterday during the off-day. The Pittsburgh Pirates have claimed Tyler Beede off of waivers. The Giants designated Beede for assignment last week.

The right-hander now has a 4.66 ERA, 2.07 WHIP and 4:6 K:BB through 9.2 innings. He should continue to see only low-leverage work as he attempts to cut down on the number of baserunners he allows.

Beede didn't pitch in the majors last year after he recovered from Tommy John surgery. He posted a 6.66 ERA, 1.97 WHIP and 50:45 K:BB in 48.2 innings with Triple-A Sacramento. Given that high walk rate, it'll be important to keep an eye on his control as he progresses through the season.
