Dominant finish at Triple-A Beeter logged a 1.69 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 27 strikeouts in 16 innings over his final three starts for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

Impact The best Triple-A hitters have mostly been promoted to the majors at this stage of the season, but it was still an excellent way for Beeter to close his age-24 season. Beeter's 93-mph fastball (touches 97 mph) and sweeping slider have been an excellent bat-missing duo -- he also sparingly throws quality third and fourth pitches in his curveball and changeup -- but his command and control have held him back at times. At the very least, it would seem Beeter could help a big-league bullpen at some point next season, and he will need to be added to the 40-man roster this offseason if the Yankees want to protect him from the Rule 5 draft.

Off to excellent start in minors Beeter has made five starts for Double-A Somerset so far this season, posting a 1.35 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 34:12 K:BB over 26.2 innings.

Impact Beeter was acquired by the Yankees in a deal for Joey Gallo last season, and he impressed after joining his new organization, posting a 2.13 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 41:11 K:BB over 25.1 frames. He's carried that success over to 2023 and could move up to Triple-A before long given his early results with Somerset. Beeter has thus far displayed strong strikeout stuff in the minors, though he could help his chances of reaching the majors by cutting down on walks. He's been almost exclusively a starter in the minors but may be more successful out of the bullpen as a big-leaguer.
