Brandon Beachy
Brandon Alan Beachy (born September 3, 1986) is an American former professional baseball pitcher. He played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Atlanta Braves and Los Angeles Dodgers.
Beachy attended Northwestern Senior High School in Kokomo, Indiana. He helped lead their team to lose Indiana's 2004–2005 class AA state championship game to the North Posey Vikings. After the game, he was presented with the Indiana High School Athletic Association Mental Attitude Award. After high school, he attended Indiana Wesleyan University, where he played third base, first base, and pitched for the Indiana Wesleyan Wildcats.
Beachy was not selected in the 2008 Major League Baseball draft following his junior year of college, but signed with the Atlanta Braves as an undrafted free agent on July 22, 2008.
Beachy compiled a 4–3 record with one save and a 3.87 ERA in 762⁄3 innings of work spread over 35 appearances and three different teams in 2009. He struck out 64 batters and walked 19. Most of his time was spent with the Myrtle Beach Pelicans of the High-A Carolina League.
In spring 2010, Beachy was one of six pitchers who took part in a spring mini-camp in which some of the Braves’ top minor leaguers took turns serving as backups for major league players in spring training games. He was the youngest minor leaguer in the mini-camp.
Beachy was moved into the starting rotation for the Double-A Mississippi Braves late June 2010. In his time with Mississippi, he struck out 100 batters while allowing 53 hits and 22 walks in 27 games (73.2 innings) while maintaining a 1.47 ERA. He compiled a record of 3 wins and 1 loss. Opposing hitters hit .200 and produced 12 earned runs. Beachy's best performance of the season occurred on July 15 when he struck out 13 of 19 batters against the Huntsville Stars.
Beachy was promoted to the Triple-A Gwinnett Braves in the fall of 2010. While there, he delivered 2 wins with 0 losses and a 2.17 ERA.
Beachy made his major league debut with the Braves as the starting pitcher against the Philadelphia Phillies on September 20, 2010, as a replacement for Jair Jurrjens who had injured his knee. Beachy pitched for 41⁄3 innings, gave up three runs (one earned), and received his first major league loss. He had two losses in three starts for the Braves in 2010, with an ERA of 3.00.
