Right-hander Tristan Beck, a 26-year-old Stanford product, will start the Giants’ first game of spring training against the Cubs on Saturday.
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — The man who started the Giants’ first Cactus League game during last season’s abbreviated spring training went on to become their Opening Day starter, too. Back to normal this spring, that’s not likely to be the case.
The honor belongs to Tristan Beck, a 26-year-old righty who was added to the 40-man roster this season. Beck, a fourth-round draft pick out of Stanford by Atlanta in 2018, joined the organization at the 2019 trade deadline in the Mark Melancon deal and reached Triple-A last season, going 5-8 with a 5.64 ERA in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League.
Beck is expected to start the year in the rotation at Triple-A Sacramento, which should also include Sean Hjelle, Kyle Harrison and Keaton Winn, a quartet of young starters who provide the Giants something they didn’t have much of last year: upper-level starting pitching depth.
