Acquired: 2017 Round 1
RuleV: 2021
Physical Description: Wiry build with enticing athletic traits. More room for added muscle to his upper half. Strong lower half highlighted by sturdy legs and thighs. More room for added size as he physically develops.
Hit: Shortened his swing path since pro ball. Has a more sound and collected stance in the box. Hands stay well above the letters. Slightly crouched with bent elbows and legs shoulder width apart. Subtle left leg kick, remains compact throughout his load. Has quick hands, but swing remains flat. Lacks a sound approach, struggles to make consistent contact. Whiffs at pitches down and away. Shows room for potential, but his bat must improve to reach his offensive ceiling. Grade: 45
Power: Flat swing struggles for adequate power at the next level. Sold out for power his first couple seasons, but has become more of a contact-oriented hitter. Lacks home run power. Makes the majority of his hard contact pull side with hard line drives. Potential for more raw power as he fully matures, but lack of extension and loft limit his ceiling. Grade: 45
Field: Shows a natural ability in center field. Has good range and instincts to make up ground defensively. Tremendous hustle to snag fly balls to the warning track. Can be moved to a corner outfield spot if he adds more size. Has the tools to stick at either position. Grade: 55
Arm: Above-average arm strength and accuracy. Throws have good carry and life to reach the infield. Throws are on time and consistent. Solid tool to solidify his defensive profile. Grade: 55
Run: Above-average speed that flashes plus, but lacks consistency. Has great strides and immediate burst. Good acceleration out of the box. Speed hasn't translated to stolen bases. Very timid on the basepaths, limiting his athletic potential. Grade: 55
Overall: Beck has the athleticism and defensive traits of a center fielder, but his bat drastically needs to improve. He lacks consistent contact and power at the plate. There is still time for Beck to grow and improve, but his offensive ceiling is still in question.
