Yomiuri Giants Showing Interest In Tyler Beede

By Simon Hampton | November 25, 2022 at 6:34pm CDT

The Yomiuri Giants of the Nippon Professional Baseball league are showing interest in adding right-handed pitcher Tyler Beede for the upcoming season, according to Hochi News (h/t Sung Min Kim). Beede was released by the Pirates last month after spending the 2022 campaign with them and San Francisco.

Beede, 29, was drafted 14th overall by the Giants back in 2014, but never managed to live up to the first round pedigree over four years in the big leagues. Across 187 innings between the Giants and Pirates, Beede pitched to a 5.34 ERA, averaging a 19.1% strikeout rate and a 9.7% walk rate. Most of those innings were logged in the 2019 season, when Beede pitched 117 innings of 5.08 ERA ball largely out of the Giants’ rotation.

Tommy John surgery ruled him out of the shortened 2020 season, and a significant chunk of the 2021 campaign as well. The Giants cut ties with him after a handful of relief appearances this year, and he was picked up by the rebuilding Pirates. The change of scenery didn’t bring about a change of results though, as Beede worked to a 5.23 ERA in 51 2/3 innings. He also saw his strikeout rate drop to 14.8% while putting up a 9.7% walk rate.

Pittsburgh designated Beede for assignment towards the end of the season and he became a free agent in October.

The report also adds that Yomiuri are looking to sign former Royals and Blue Jays pitcher Foster Griffin as well as Beede. Griffin was also drafted in the first round in 2014 (28th by the Royals) has made just a handful of appearances across two years in the big leagues, tossing eight innings of 6.75 ERA ball for the Royals and Blue Jays. The left-hander was much better at Triple-A, where he worked to a 2.10 ERA across 51 1/3 innings of relief work.

      I sort of agree, since while there have been a lot of trades so far, none have been blockbuster, and the largest FA contract has been Edwin Diaz, who signed almost immediately after the World Series, before FA predictions started to come out, and with the team he played for last year.

    Beedewas actually doing a decent job in the bullpen but the Pirates in their infinite wisdom wanted to make him back into a starter and he got roughed up in I think four games.

    Another 1st round bust by the Giants, albeit from their last front office regime.
    I don’t expect a Posey or Lincecum every time but a first round pick should at least be a serviceable player.
    I hope Beede finds success if he goes to Japan and maybe they will unlock his potential.

      They were gambling on the upside. The next five picks in that draft were Sean Newcomb, Touki Toussaint, Brandon Finnegan, Erick Fedde, and Nick Howard. Matt Chapman was the only first rounder drafted after Beede that I would consider to be notable. Michael Kopech and Jack Flaherty were both supplemental firsts that year. If you want to dip into the second round, Alex Verdugo and Spencer Turnbull are the top two guys. The third…Brian Anderson…Jordan Luplow…J.D. Davis…

      In other words, it’s not as if the Giants completely whiffed on several notable players at 14. I hear where you’re coming from but the draft philosophy of most teams is to take who they believe is the best available talent unless they’re trying to spread bonus pool money around.

      A lot of draft pundits will mention that some guys are almost certainly surefire MLB guys but have incredibly low ceilings. A guy like Pete Kozma comes to mind. Everyone had him pegged as an MLB-capable defender who needed to come a long way with the bat…and that’s exactly who Pete Kozma is/was. Rick Porcello, Todd Frazier, Travis d’Arnaud, and Josh Donaldson were all taken following the Kozma pick in the first/supplemental first. Jordan Zimmermann, Giancarlo Stanton, and Freddie Freeman went in the second. Danny Duffy, Jonathan Lucroy, and Matt Harvey went in the third.

      I do hear where you’re coming from but the MLB draft is a crapshoot and there’s the constant high floor/low ceiling versus low floor/high ceiling consideration. Ideally you’re drafting guys you feel good about in general (ie. you feel their floor and ceiling is high) but most of the time you’re going for the high ceiling players in the earlier rounds.

        I hear what you’re saying, but I’m just not sure you hear where Dave is coming from.

          @beans I think he did hear where Dave is coming from. Dave expects a first round pick to at least be a serviceable player, but if a team drafted with that philosophy, then you’re gonna end up with a lot of Pete Kozmas. Crab counters that although those players have value, teams are gonna go with high risk, high reward level players in the first few rounds

          @kapler. I hear where you’re coming from.

          I like that you bring up “crab counters”, I don’t think people discuss snow crab populations and the fact the lower counts/cancelled season is a huge issue.
