Pro Eagle Update: Chris Beck to Make MLB Debut
5/27/2015 3:31:00 PM | Baseball
STATESBORO, Ga. – Former Georgia Southern Eagle Chris Beck will be recalled to the Chicago White Sox for the second time this season and has been named the starter for the second game of a doubleheader at the Baltimore Orioles on Thursday. The doubleheader starts at 1:05 p.m.
Beck was recalled for a doubleheader against the Cincinnati Reds on May 9 but did not see game action. Beck was sent down to Triple-A after the game due to MLB rules that allow a team to carry a 26th man for doubleheaders only.
Beck has posted a 3-2 record with a 3.30 ERA over eight starts with the Charlotte Knights. In 46.1 innings pitched in Triple-A, he has tallied 33 strikeouts and allowed just 11 walks.
Beck pitched for the Georgia Southern Eagles from 2010-12 and was drafted 76th overall with the 16th pick of the second round by the White Sox in the 2012 first-year player draft.
Here are some other Eagle notes from around professional baseball:
Jarrett Leverett (2011-12) had his contract purchased by the San Francisco Giants. The Giants will send the former Eagle to extended spring training before assigning him to a team. Leverett appeared in only one game for the Wichita Wingnuts of the American Association. He was a 15th round pick of the Minnesota Twins in the 2012 draft.
Sam Howard (2012-14) limited the Kannapolis Intimidators to three runs – one earned – on four hits and a walk to earn his second win of the season in his last outing on May 19. Howard tossed six innings and struck out three in a quality start for the Asheville Tourists.
Matt Murrary (2009-2011) tossed five scoreless innings and earned his fourth win of the season in a relief appearance for the Northwest Arkansas Naturals. Murray struck out three batters, allowed five hits and did not walk a batter in his 9th outing of the season.
Everett Teaford (2004-06) limited the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders to one run on six hits in his last start for the Durham Bulls. Teaford struck out three and walked just one batter over 5.2 innings to pick up his third win of the season.
