Notes

Comments

3/01/25
Grant Beard is a 2026 C/OF with a strong, 5-foot-11, 190-pound frame and a quiet, repeatable swing. Hitting from a small crouch, he uses a toe tap stride and subtle forward move to get into position before delivering a direct barrel with some heaviness behind it. Beard registered a 92 mph max exit velocity (83.3 avg) with a 345’ peak distance, showing the ability to impact the baseball. Behind the plate, he’s a solid all-around defender with strong receiving actions and an advanced catch-and-throw skillset, producing 2.00–2.04 pop times on an 82 mph arm—the best tool in his defensive profile.

Beard shows compact strength in his 5-foot-11, 190 pound frame, with his best tool at the moment being his arm, firing 79 mph from the crouch during defensive evaluations. The stocky backstop showed a short, simple right-handed swing with exit velocities topping at 90 mph.
