BA Grade:

40/Medium

Track Record: Beer became the fourth and final player from the Zack Greinke trade to reach the majors for the D-backs when he made his debut in September. He connected for a pinch-hit homer in his first big league at-bat, but suffered a season-ending shoulder injury in his first inning in the field diving for a ball.

Scouting Report: As always, Beer remains a bat-first, if not bat-only, prospect. He hits the ball to all fields, is good at working counts and makes a decent amount of contact even when expands the zone. Beer&#39s power is closer to average than plus, but he gets to it enough to make a difference in games. Beer&#39s defense at first base remains subpar, with evaluators differing only on whether it is playable. He is a slow mover with poor hands and is a liability in the field.

The Future: A universal DH would help Beer&#39s cause, but many evaluators see him as a good hitter rather than a great one, projecting him more as a second-division slugger.
