Jeffrey Ryan Beliveau (born January 17, 1987) is an American professional baseball pitcher who is a free agent. He has previously played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Chicago Cubs, Tampa Bay Rays, Toronto Blue Jays, and Cleveland Indians.
As an amateur, Beliveau played college baseball at Florida Atlantic University and the College of Charleston. He has also competed for the United States national baseball team.
Beliveau attended Bishop Hendricken High School in Warwick, Rhode Island. Originally an outfielder, Beliveau tried out for the team as a pitcher between his junior and senior seasons. As a senior in 2005, Beliveau had a 10-0 win–loss record with a 0.71 earned run average, which saw him named the Gatorade High School Player of the Year for Rhode Island.
Beliveau then enrolled at College of Charleston, where he played college baseball for the College of Charleston Cougars baseball team in the Southern Conference of the National Collegiate Athletic Association's (NCAA) Division I. In two years at College of Charleston, Beliveau had a 9–5 record, and the team reached the Super Regionals in 2006. Later that summer, he played for the Newport Gulls of the New England Collegiate Baseball League, compiling a 2–0 record with a 1.25 earned run average and helping the Gulls to a league record 32–10 season. He transferred Florida Atlantic University for his junior season in 2008, where he played for the Florida Atlantic Owls baseball team in the Sun Belt Conference. Beliveau led all Owls pitchers with 78 strikeouts in 76+2⁄3 innings pitched.
The Chicago Cubs drafted Beliveau in the 18th round (551st overall) of the 2008 MLB draft. After signing with the Cubs, he appeared in one game for the Arizona League Cubs in the rookie-level Arizona League, before receiving a promotion to the Boise Hawks of the Low-A Northwest League. In 2008, he had a combined 2–1 record, a 2.80 earned run average, 52 strikeouts and 28 walks in 35+1⁄3 innings. Beliveau joined the Peoria Chiefs of the Single-A Midwest League in 2009, earning a promotion to the Daytona Cubs of the High-A Florida State League in 2010. Beliveau pitched for Daytona and the Tennessee Smokies of the Double-A Southern League in 2011. The Cubs added Beliveau to their 40-man roster after the 2011 season to protect him from the Rule 5 draft.
Beliveau made his MLB debut with the Cubs on July 22, 2012. The Cubs designated him for assignment after the season.
On December 21, 2012, Beliveau was claimed off waivers by the Texas Rangers, who optioned him to the Round Rock Express of the Triple-A Pacific Coast League for the start of the 2013 season. He made one scoreless appearance for Round Rock, allowing one hit across two innings pitched. On April 8, 2013, Beliveau was designated for assignment following the acquisition of Robinson Chirinos.
The Rangers traded Beliveau to the Tampa Bay Rays on April 16, 2013. On August 27, Beliveau was recalled by the Rays from the Triple-A Durham Bulls. He did not get into any games before being optioned to the Double-A Montgomery Biscuits on August 29. He was recalled on September 21 after an 18-inning game against the Baltimore Orioles. In 2014, Beliveau made 30 relief appearances and posted a 2.63 earned run average and 28 strikeouts in 24 innings.
