Dodgers Sign 2nd-Rounder Clayton Beeter

By Connor Byrne | July 6, 2020 at 11:23pm CDT

The Dodgers have signed supplemental second-round pick Clayton Beeter to an over-slot bonus worth $1,196,500, Jim Callis of MLB.com tweets. As the 66th overall pick, the right-hander’s selection came with a recommended value of $1,003,300. The Dodgers added Beeter to their 60-man player pool after signing him.

Los Angeles acquired the pick it used on on Beeter from Minnesota in the teams’ offseason trade centering on righty Kenta Maeda. The 21-year-old Beeter’s a past Tommy John surgery patient (2017), but he rebounded to post effective numbers at Texas Tech from 2019-20. While Beeter only threw 41 2/3 innings as a Red Raider, he notched a 2.81 ERA with a jaw-dropping K/9 of 15.8. Beeter did walk almost a batter per inning (8.7 BB/9) during his first college season, but that number shrunk to a far more palatable 1.7 this year. He possesses a 93 to 98 mph fastball and a “wipeout” curveball-slider combination, according to Callis, and entered the draft as MLB.com’s 51st-ranked prospect.

Now that Beeter’s under wraps, the Dodgers have secured all six of their picks from this year’s class. Here’s a refresher on their other five choices:

  • Bobby Miller, 1st round, 29th overall. Slot value: $2,424,600 (Signed for $2.2MM)
  • Landon Knack, 2-60. Slot value: $1,157,400 (Signed for $715K)
  • Jake Vogel, 3-100. Slot value: $581.6K (Signed for $1,622,500)
  • Carson Taylor, 4-130. Slot value: $434.3K (Signed for $400K)
  • Gavin Stone, 5-159. Slot value: $327.2K (Signed for $100K)

    If he can be half as good as the other Dodger named Clayton, it’ll be a good pick.

      Some might even hope that he turns out to be beeter than kershaw.

      Why would the Dodgers sign someone to Beet Clayton?

    Anyone understand why the Dodgers signed Vogel for roughly 1MM over slot value? Knack signed for 400k under slot???

      Knack was a fifth year senior. Zero leverage and probably a partial reason why he was selected. Beeter and especially Vogel were going to be the toughest sign for the Dodgers. Beeter had a year of eligibility left. Vogel was committed to UCLA so he could have easily not signed and tried again three years later. Vogel is also an upside guy with his elite speed and athleticism creating a floor. He has a nice stroke and throwing arm too. The only real evident weakness is lack of power.

      They reached with a 2nd round pick so they could draft players who fell with their next two picks

    Interesting how there are 0 comments and have been closed for commenting on all articles that talk about covid 19

      Yeah; I noticed (and questioned) that, as well.
      I’m not sure why that decision was made, but muzzling the readers – even on select topics – is not a good look.

        If you go back to yesterday – Tim Dierkes, owner of the site invited comments on the comments section.

        The overwhelming consensus – it seemed to me – was to switch off comments on any post relating to Covid 19 because they quickly descend into chaos… which is not a good look either…

        Not sure why Robbie Ray’s story is currently switched off though… and the idea of Rob Manfred “jumping on” Mike Rizzo is like being savaged by a dead sheep…

      They basically shut down any and all conversation about the pandemic and its effects on baseball lol. They claim its too difficult to moderate these discussions but anyone with half a brain can read thru all the comments in an article on mlbtr in like 15 minutes lol its laziness on their part

        Gotta disagree. I’d rather set fire to my own testicles than read through much of the nonsense that was written. Well, more probably someone else’s Surely their role is writing articles rather than moderating the hogwash & tomfoolery.

        Just a thought not a stone…

          I asked a baseball question about this transaction, and would be interested in the answer, but got no response. It’s easy to see just by reading the comments on this post that many do not come here for the baseball discussion, they are here for no other reason but to grind their political axes. Sad but true.

          I put “GUNS UP” to AJ Ramos which is a Texas Tech saying and my message is still not published.

        Only one POV is acceptable for this site, they’ve made it abundantly clear and they do not want people calling out their fear mongering or propaganda.
