Brendan Beck (born October 6, 1998) is an American professional baseball pitcher for the New York Yankees, making his MLB debut on May 7, 2026. After going undrafted in the COVID-shortened 2020 draft, he starred at Stanford University (22–10, 3.11 ERA) before the Yankees selected him in the second round of the 2021 draft, signing for a $1.05 million bonus. His path to the majors was marred by injuries, including Tommy John surgery that cost him the 2022 season and an elbow issue that wiped out 2024. In 2026, he earned International League Pitcher of the Week honors and threw the first seven innings of a combined no-hitter on June 5, though his first MLB start on July 4 was rocky (5 runs in 3⅔ innings). Beck also represented Great Britain in the 2026 World Baseball Classic, and his family has deep Stanford ties, with his mother, sister, and older brother Tristan all connected to the university.
