Tristan Beck

He struggled in a late-season look as a starter (7.50 ERA), but Beck was effective when used in relief by the Giants, collecting a 3.33 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 60:19 K:BB over 73 innings. A .613 OPS against right-handed batters and .820 OPS versus left-handed hitters would also seem to point to his future being in the bullpen. While Beck has missed bats at a solid 24.5 percent rate in the minors, that number dropped as he moved up levels and his 19.2 percent mark with the Giants suggests he might not produce much swing-and-miss in the big leagues. Beck also no longer looks like he'll be much of a groundball guy, holding a 35.2 percent rate at Triple-A Sacramento and a 40.8 percent rate with the Giants in 2023. It seems unlikely that the 27-year-old will be entrusted with a starting role or high-leverage relief role. Read Past Outlooks
