Uncommitted Spotlight: RHP Kyle Beaty


Phil Kerber
Georgia Scouting Director

Our goal at Prep Baseball Report is to promote high school players, and give them the exposure they need to be able to play at the next level. With the 2020 high school season in limbo, we want to continue to be able to promote players, even when baseball is not being played. Starting today, we will be spotlighting several uncommitted prospects to help them get the exposure they need to play at the next level.

Our last look at RHP Kyle Beaty (Mill Creek, 2021) could not have come at a better time. An athletic 6-foot, 195-pound pitcher with a developed muscular lower half, Beaty tossed a three-hitter against one of the top teams in state in Brookwood. Our scout in attendance, Hank King, was thoroughly impressed by Beaty's performance. His fastball, which ranged 85-89, came in like a bowling ball. This gave the Brookwood offense fits at the plate, as they got very few balls out of the infield in his seven innings on the mound. He was able to manipulate his curveball between a quick slider-like pitch and one at lower speeds that featured depth. His overall competitiveness and ability to throw strikes should make him successful where ever he ends up at the next level.

Scouting Report

3/09/20 - 6-foot 190-pound RHP. Avg width slope shoulder with a well developed muscular lower half. Kyle uses a full wind up delivery with good rhythm that he repeats consistently.  FB 85-89 mostly 87 with good down angle and heavy sink. Look like a 16-pound bowling ball stealing bats from hitters. CB 74-78 takes on quick slider character at higher speeds and grabs real CB depth at slower speeds throw both for a strike.This is a very competitive strike thrower, he just keeps coming at hitter with that heavy sink inside and the quick break away.  Upsetting for hitters, very few balls get out of the infield in 7 inns. rare ability to command movement this is a deadly right hander that should be very successful at the next level as well.
