Career

Los Angeles Angels

Beasley was drafted in the 30th round of the 2017 Major League Baseball Draft, 895th overall by the Los Angeles Angels from Clemson University. He signed with the team on June 23 and was assigned to the rookie-level AZL Angels, and also played for the rookie-level Orem Owlz, posting a cumulative 3.13 ERA in 17 games. In 2018, Beasley split the year between the Double-A Mobile BayBears, the High-A Inland Empire 66ers, and the Single-A Burlington Bees, pitching to a 6–7 record and 2.66 ERA in 25 appearances between the three teams. For the 2019 season, Beasley was assigned to Mobile to begin the year, and received a late season promotion to the Triple-A Salt Lake Bees. On the season, Beasley posted a 7–7 record and 4.49 ERA with 115 strikeouts in 122.1 innings of work between the two levels.[1]
