Pedro Beato (born October 27, 1986 in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic) is a relief pitcher for the New York Mets.
Beato, who moved to Ridgewood Queens as a child, attended Xaverian High School in Brooklyn, New York.[1] He was drafted by the New York Mets in the 17th round of the 2005 Major League Baseball Draft, but did not sign. He opted to attend St. Petersburg College. Beato was drafted by the Orioles in the first round (32nd overall) of the 2006 Major League Baseball Draft.
Going into the 2007 season, Beato was rated the 99th best prospect in baseball by Baseball America.[2] He participated in the 2007 All-Star Futures Game.[3]
In the 2010 Rule 5 Draft, Beato was selected by the New York Mets off of the Norfolk Tides roster. Beato was named to the Mets' Opening Day roster.[4] He made his major league debut on April 1, 2011.
In his first 18.2 innings, Beato has allowed 0 earned runs, setting the Mets franchise record for longest scoreless inning streak to start a career. In those 18.2 innings, Beato has allowed only 9 hits and 3 walks. On April 21 he got his first major league win.
On May 4 he was placed on the Disabled List due to an elbow injury and the Mets called up Michael O'Connor to take his place in the bullpen. On May 17 he returned as Rubén Tejada was called up and Ryota Igarashi and Chin-lung Hu were sent down to the minors.
