MLB Draft Podcast

On this week’s episode of the MLB Draft Podcast by AWM Capital, we’re joined by Tyler Beede – pitcher for the San Francisco Giants. Tyler had the unique opportunity of being a 1st round draft pick two separate times. He turned down the first opportunity to pursue college at Vanderbilt and further hone his skills. He discusses playing at the collegiate level, on TEAM USA, and continuing on again to the MLB draft as a first round pick.

Throughout the episode, Tyler walks us through his career from high school to the major leagues and covers topics like:

  • What it was like on draft night
  • Advice from a major league perspective on what he relies on his agent for, how to be a good client to your agent, and some pitfalls to be aware of
  • How to build a team who can help handle the business of professional baseball so you can focus on improving your game
  • Navigating the draft process with his parents
  • Discussing what he would have done differently during his college baseball career and the importance of enjoying where you’re at
  • Reflecting on what it takes to be successful in the major leagues.
