Matt Beech  
Starting Pitcher | Chicago White Sox

Pitching
Beech is a control pitcher; when he's on he has pinpoint control. He's got a really stong arm, so he can blow it by you on occasion. He's a good late inning man, which is when being a pitcher really counts. Beech's fastball was clocked at 95 MPH most of the season and he kept excellent control of it. But Beech, do us a favor. Stop throwing that changeup. It looks like a beachball. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
Beech is quick to the plate, making him tough to run on. A decent fielder, Beech is quick around the mound and has good instincts. Beech is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Beech has some pop in his swing.

2010 Outlook
I really like what this kid brings to the table.
