The Rockies organization is very pleased to selected Tyler Beede with their 8th overall pick. Tyler offers a great combination of now stuff and upside, with a prototypical pitchers build to boot. His fastball sits in the low-mid 90's, bringing it up to 97 when he needs a little bit extra. He compliments that with a hammer curve in the low 80's and a changeup around the 80 mark that has great depth and separation from his fastball. By the time he is finished developing he could bring three plus offerings to the mound in Coors. Tyler has worked hard to improve his command this year, as evidenced by bringing his BB/9 down to 3.34 this season, while maintaining a K/9 north of 9.
We believe that Tyler will move quickly through the minors and join the home grown rotation that we will need in the mile high city.
