Clayton Beeter — Texas Tech
What stands out immediately about Clayton Beeter’s statistical profile is his K/9 of 14.14, the highest in the Big 12, despite being a starter. That’s a crazy strikeout rate for a starter, especially when it’s accompanied by his BB/9 of 1.71 and WHIP of 0.81. All of that resulted in a FIP of 2.56, better than the league average.
The only blemish on Beeter’s profile is the unsightly HR/9 of 1.29, which is why his FIP and wOBA allowed (0.228) are so close to average, despite his outstanding WHIP, K/9, and BB/9. That combination of the K/9 and BB/9 are enough to make Beeter the best pitching prospect in the conference in my mind, despite the high HR/9.
It’s true that guys like Bryce Elder and Cade Cavalli and Levi Prater might have more years and innings and production than Beeter, but his upside is tantalizing.

Beeter is a 6-foot-2, 220-pound right-hander who throws a four-seam fastball, curveball and changeup from an over-the-top delivery that allows him to throw downhill and create deception.
He has a powerful two-pitch mix that he relies on heavily. His fastball and curveball are above-average offerings and allow him to overpower hitters. His fastball sits in the mid-90s and has touched 98 mph.
His curveball might be his best pitch and serves as an extremely effective outpitch. It’s a sharp breaking pitch that consists of 12-to-6 break and typically generates a high percentage of strikeouts.
Better a possible Mets first rounder?
