Career[]

Beck attended Corona High School in Corona, California. He played for the team as a pitcher and shortstop. He committed to attend Stanford University in order to play college baseball for the Stanford Cardinal when he was a sophomore.[1]

Beck was eligible to be selected in the 2020 MLB draft following his junior year, but the draft was shortened to five rounds due to the COVID-19 pandemic,[2] and Beck was not selected.[3] He returned to Stanford for his senior year in 2021. He completed his Cardinal career with a 22-10 record, a 3.11 ERA, and 289 strikeouts in 289+1⁄3 innings pitched.[4] The Yankees chose Beck in the second round, with the 55th overall selection, of the 2021 MLB draft.[5] On July 18, 2021, Beck signed with the Yankees for a $1.05 million bonus.[6]

Personal life[]

Beck's mother and older sister are Stanford graduates.[7] Beck and his older brother, Tristan, played baseball together for Corona High and Stanford.[8][9] Tristan plays professional baseball in the San Francisco Giants organization.
