James Beasley is Princeton’s big-framed strike-thrower on the rise
In the 2026 season, the 6-foot-7 Princeton right-hander has emerged as a front-of-the-rotation arm, leading the staff with a 0.56 ERA in one report and stacking up multiple shutout and near-shutout outings, including five scoreless innings against Cornell and six scoreless against Siena. His calling card is simple but loud: size, downhill plane, poise, and the ability to give Princeton real length when he’s on. He missed time in 2025 after an injury, so the key question is durability — but if your team wants a tall, low-drama starter who can bully lineups, he’s absolutely worth caring about.
