Once thought to be a mid-first round selection, Beck slipped to 76th overall after a disappointing junior year at Georgia Southern. However, he is still considered a top pitching prospect in the system.
Beck's body is built for durability according to BPN. After losing some velocity last year with Great Falls, Beck has reportedly found it again and is back to touching 95 with potential to develop some movement with it. He also possesses two plus breaking pitches in a slider and changeup.
With Great Falls last year, Beck posted a 4-3 record with a 4.69 ERA along with a 1.562 WHIP. While those numbers are average, there is hope that Beck can improve next year especially after a 3.00 SO/BB ratio last year. Below are some other scouting reports on Beck:

A Georgia native who's already shown the ability to maintain a 95mph fastball deep into starts, White Sox prospect Chris Beck is a righthander with the usual college pedigree: he's only a year or two away from MLB ready, and when he arrives he should be adept at pounding the lower half of the strike zone while mixing in two different better-than-average breaking pitches to boot.
Baseball Prospect Nation:
Solid to plus raw stuff across the board with some projection to improve more as he matures physically and mentally. Not a ton of physical projection remaining. Relies heavily on FB and needs to use it to set up the breaking ball and CH. Still learning finer points of pitching and defense, but has intelligence and should get it with time. If CH and command gain consistency, very real potential to be a number three with a chance to overstep that and become a number two in his best years.
FanGraphs:
I’m told Beck had an excellent fall instructional league with the White Sox and had his fastball back up to 95 mph. “He’s loosened up and his arm strength is back,” a talent evaluator stated. His slider is also becoming more consistent again. Beck also has a cutter and changeup. He could open 2013 in high-A ball if he has a strong spring training. His ceiling is that of an innings-eating middle-of-the-rotation arm.Follow Pale Hose Prospectus on Twitter - @ChiSoxProspects
