It can’t be easy to enter a franchise who has stirred up high expectations with winning the World Series three times in six years. But for Tyler Beede, he has already shown he was a winner a couple years ago as he led a Vanderbilt Commodores staff to a College World Series championship. The San Francisco Giants rewarded the starting pitcher with his stuff by drafting him 14th overall in the 2014 MLB Amateur Draft. Little did they know both teams would win in the same season.
Vanderbilt has a great track record of providing stellar starting pitchers, like David Price, Sonny Gray, and Mike Minor, and future Major Leaguer Carson Fulmer.
