Biographical Information

Chris Beyers has played in the German Bundesliga and for the South African national team.

He played for Dhahran in the 2008 Little League World Series, getting Saudi Arabia's lone hit versus Japan. Debuting with the Paderborn Untouchables in Germany in 2021, he hit .340/.444/.528 but fell to .200/.227/.200 in the playoffs. The next year, he improved to .407/.478/.559 in the regular season and .192/.267/.423 in the playoffs. He tied for 4th in the Bundesliga-1 north in doubles (7). Among players with 50+ plate appearances, he was 4th in average (between Eric Brenk and Wilson Lee), 7th in OBP, 9th in slugging (between Maikel Azcuy and Adrian Stommel) and 8th in OPS (between Daniel Lamb-Hunt and Azcuy). He played 2B, SS, 3B and the outfield.

Like Azcuy and Lamb-Hunt, who had played in World Baseball Classic Qualifiers, he would soon appear in one, the 2023 World Baseball Classic Qualifiers. He was South Africa's DH and cleanup man in their opener versus Spain. He grounded out against Ronald Medrano his first at-bat then walked the next.
