Brendan Thomas Beck (born October 6, 1998) is an American professional baseball pitcher for the New York Yankees organization.
Amateur career
[edit | edit source]Beck attended Corona High School in Corona, California. He played for the school's baseball team as a pitcher and shortstop. During his sophomore year of high school, he committed to attend Stanford University to play college baseball for the Stanford Cardinal.[1] He initially committed to Stanford as an infielder, but focused on pitching as the Cardinal already had enough infielders.[2]
Beck was eligible to be selected in the 2020 MLB draft following his junior year, but the draft was shortened to five rounds due to the COVID-19 pandemic,[3] and Beck was not selected.[4] He returned to Stanford for his senior year in 2021. He completed his Cardinal career with a 22–10 win-loss record, a 3.11 earned run average (ERA), and 289 strikeouts in 289+1⁄3 innings pitched.[5]
Professional career
[edit | edit source]The New York Yankees chose Beck in the second round, with the 55th overall selection, of the 2021 MLB draft.[6] On July 18, 2021, Beck signed with the Yankees for a $1.05 million bonus.[7] In February 2022, it was announced that Beck had undergone Tommy John surgery the previous summer and would miss the entire 2022 season.[8]
Beck made his professional debut in 2023, pitching to a 1.74 ERA in 31 innings for the High-A Hudson Valley Renegades. He then missed the 2024 season due to elbow injury.[2] In 2025, Beck pitched for the Double-A Somerset Patriots.[9] After pitching to a 1.82 ERA in 11 games, the Yankees promoted him to the Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders on June 22.[10]
Personal life
[edit | edit source]Beck's mother and older sister are Stanford graduates.[11] Beck and his older brother, Tristan, played baseball together for Corona High and Stanford.[12][13]
