The 2017 Ivy League Pitcher of the Year called up to MLB with the Pittsburgh Pirates
CHICAGO — Beau Sulser, a member of the Dartmouth Class of 2016 and former pitcher for the Big Green baseball team, was called up to Major League Baseball by the Pittsburgh Pirates late last night. Sulser will join his older brother and former college teammate, right-hander Cole Sulser '12 of the Miami Marlins, in the big leagues.
The 2017 Ivy League Pitcher of the Year, Sulser was drafted by the Pirates in the 10th round of the 2017 MLB Draft with the 298th overall pick. He began the 2022 season with the Triple-A Indianapolis Indians in the International League and posted a 2.13 ERA over three starts spanning 12.2 innings, allowing 11 hits and two walks while striking out 14. The 28-year-old from Santa Ysabel, California, spent most of his minor league career coming out of the bullpen until starting 24 games last year for Indianapolis. Sulser completed the 2021 season with a 7-9 record and 5.65 ERA over 122.2 innings, striking out 102 and walking 53.
In his collegiate career, Sulser was 13-7 with a 3.48 ERA over 142.1 innings with 124 strikeouts and just 26 walks. As a fifth-year senior in 2017, he had a miniscule 1.40 ERA in 45.0 innings while posting a 6-1 record in seven starts and allowing the opposition to hit a paltry .201. His strikeout-to-walk ratio of 10.4 (52 strikeouts, five walks) ranked third nationally with Auburn's Casey Mize (now with the Detroit Tigers) at the top of the list.
Sulser's older brother is pitching in his fourth MLB season as a reliever having thrown 7.1 innings for Tampa Bay without giving up a run in September of 2019 and two seasons for the Baltimore Orioles, saving 13 games in 79 appearances spanning 86.0 innings. This season with the Marlins, he has a 1.69 ERA over six outings.
According to the Baseball Almanac, the Sulsers will be the 434th set of brothers to play in the big leagues once Beau toes the rubber in a game, and second set to have one brother debut in 2022, joining Tim and Christian Lopes.
The Pirates fell to 7-8 on Saturday following a 21-0 loss to the Chicago Cubs today as former Dartmouth pitcher Kyle Hendricks earned the victory. It was the 84th of his career, breaking the record for most MLB wins by a former Big Green pitcher that was held for 130 years. This is just the second time Dartmouth has ever had three active alumni on MLB rosters, joining the trio of Mike Remlinger '88, Mark Johnson '90 and Brad Ausmus '91 (1995-2002), and first time that three former Big Green players were active at the same time (Ausmus signed with the Yankees out of high school and never suited up for Dartmouth).
