Atlanta Braves Top 100 Prospects: #69 Caleb Beech
Atlanta Braves Right Hander Caleb Beech
Who Is He?
The Braves drafted Beech out of Shelton State Community College in Tuscaloosa, Alabama in the 13th round of the 2014 draft. The Braves sent him to their GCL team and he made only 4 appearances, all in relief. The results were not pretty, pitching only 5 innings, sporting a 14.40 ERA, 2.80 WHIP, and 3/1 BB/K ratio, but obviously that was a very limited sample size.
Beech was sent to Rome this season, and he made 11 appearances, 10 of them starts, collecting 62 2/3 innings. He posted a 2.87 ERA, 1.17 WHIP, and he added a 17/43 BB/K ratio in his time with Rome this year. He made his last start on June 19th due to injury, but all reports say he will be good for 2016.
