Auburn, Mass., native Tyler Beede, 25, made his majorleague debut with the San Francisco Giants last April — at the start of the most challenging season of his professional career.
Beede, a first-round selection in the 2014 MLB draft, struggled in two starts at the major-league level, was moved to the bullpen in Triple A, had an injury scare in July and did not earn a September callup. He spent the majority of the season at the Triple-A level, posting a 4-9 record with a 7.05 ERA, along with 56 walks and 75 strikeouts in 74 innings.
Beede recently joined New England Baseball Journal for a phone interview from his offseason residence in Houston.
