(Central Islip, N.Y., July 10, 2025) – The Long Island Ducks today announced right-handed pitcher Tyler Beede’s contract has been purchased by Diablos Rojos del Mexico of the Mexican League.
“Congratulations to Tyler on this exciting opportunity,” said Ducks Manager Lew Ford. “We wish him the best of luck as he continues his professional career in Mexico.”
Beede made five starts with the Flock after joining the team on June 13th. He posted a 2-1 record with a 5.48 ERA, giving up 22 hits and 11 walks over 21.1 innings of work while striking out 26 batters. The 32-year-old allowed three runs or less in four of his five starts. Most recently, he struck out 10 batters – tied for the most by a Ducks pitcher in a single game this season – and threw five innings of one-run ball in a 5-1 victory at Hagerstown on July 6th.
The Massachusetts native has five seasons of Major League experience, having pitched with the San Francisco Giants (2018-19, 2021-22), Pittsburgh Pirates (2022) and Cleveland Guardians (2024). In 71 MLB games (29 starts), he has amassed an 8-16 record with a 5.55 ERA and 181 strikeouts to 92 walks in 201.0 innings of work.
