Twins Video
Tyler Beck grew up in South Bend, Indiana, where he attended St. Joseph’s High School. He earned four high school letters in baseball. He went to Purdue where he spent the season as a redshirt. He transferred to Pasco-Hernando State College in Florida. Over two years, he made 27 appearances (20 starts).
He transferred to Division II powerhouse University of Tampa and as a junior he pitched in just 11 1/3 innings over nine games. His senior season, he went 3-3 with nine saves over 24 games. In 54 innings, he walked 19 and struck out 71 batters. Tampa won the Division II national championship.
Following the college season, the Twins made him their 30th round draft pick in 2019. He actually made his pro debut with an inning for the Ft. Myers Miracle before rejoining the GCL Twins for nine games. He ended that season with eight games (and a 1.23 ERA) in Elizabethton.
After the missed 2020 season, Beck started the 2021 season in High-A Cedar Rapids where he was given an opportunity to start. He went 2-2 with a 2.47 ERA. In 58 1/3 innings, he struck out 64 and walked just 16 batters. He was promoted to Double-A Wichita and pitched in five more games and had 27 strikeouts in 25 2/3 innings.
