Athletics' Austin Beck: Solid start at High-A level

Beck is slashing .295/.340/.545 across his first 47 plate appearances at High-A Stockton.

The first two components of the line are almost identical to the .296 average and .335 on-base percentage Beck generated over 534 plate appearances at Low-A Belmont in 2018. However, his slugging percentage is enjoying an early spike thanks to the eight extra-base hits (six doubles, one triple, one home run) Beck has accumulated in his first 11 games. His prior body of work over his first two pro stops suggests that the pace is somewhat of an outlier.
