Beckel, a lean 6-3 195-pound righty, had a strong overall night. The righty, who is ranked No. 129 in the state for his class, threw three innings on the mound, and through his first two innings was nearly untouchable, facing 6 hitters and fanning 5. His fastball sat 87-88 mph, showing late explosive life, and he showed a plus-curveball that had late bite and exceptional depth at 74-75 mph. He throws from a high ¾ slot, with a coiled upper body and a loose arm that extends well to add to the deception and perceived velocity of his pitches. Beckel’s third inning was rocky, allowing 6 runs on 6 hits as his fastball dropped to 83-84. He finished with 6 strikeouts on the night through 2.2 IP. Beckel also had a strong night at the plate, hitting two deep line drives to the left-center field wall for doubles.
