Beck

Beck hasn’t proven himself as a quality major leaguer yet, but the Rockies never looked to upgrade over him this winter. That he plays in Coors Field and is a decent basestealer gives him ample fantasy upside if he takes any kind of step forward. Last year’s 30% strikeout rate and 38% hard-hit rate just weren’t very encouraging, though.

Beck opened the scoring in the ballgame with a two-out RBI single off of Dylan Cease in the top half of the first inning. He then swiped second base before being left stranded there. Beck also singled in the eighth inning and scored on a two-run double off the bat of Blaine Crim. With his two-hit night, the 24-year-old outfielder is now slashing .271/.331/.435 with 15 homers, 51 RBI and 17 stolen bases (in 25 attempts) over 541 plate appearances with the Rockies.

Beck is 1-for-13 in his last four games, and he’s hitting .215/.262/.304 with 33 strikeouts in 85 plate appearances over his last 22 games, dropping his season OPS from .804 to .765. If the disappointing finish continues, it should jeopardize his chances of being penciled into Colorado’s lineup next year. He’s not a great defensive left fielder, so he needs to be more than a league-average hitter to have much value to a major league team.

Beck tagged Jeremiah Estrada for a 447-foot (106.0 mph EV) three-run blast in the seventh inning that pulled the Rockies to within three runs at 10-7. He also singled with two outs in the ninth inning off of Robert Suarez, but that was the end of their comeback bid. The dynamic 24-year-old outfielder has had a strong season at the dish, slashing .273/.333/.443 with 15 homers, 50 RBI and 15 stolen bases in 514 plate appearances.

Beck drew a walk in the first inning and stole base before he was left stranded. He later put the Rockies on the board in the sixth with a three-run blast off Paul Skenes as the team rallied to put six runs on the board to take the lead in the frame. The 24-year-old outfielder is hitting .276/.336/.464 with 13 homers, 49 runs scored, 40 RBI, and 12 steals across 396 plate appearances.

Beck smacked a run-scoring triple off of Chris Paddack in the opening inning that extended the Rockies’ early lead to 2-0. He then rode home on Ryan McMahon’s two-run blast. The 24-year-old outfielder then did some yard work of his own in the second inning with a colossal 448-foot (108.8 mph EV) blast off of Paddack that made it a 5-0 ballgame. He also singled in the fifth, took second on a wild pitch and swiped third base before being left stranded there. With his three-hit night, Beck is now slashing .269/.322/.462 with 11 homers, 33 RBI and 11 stolen bases on the season.

Beck gave the Rockies a 2-1 lead with his 10th homer of the season with a runner on in the first frame off Merrill Kelly. The 24-year-old has been one of the (very) few bright spots in 2025 with the aforementioned homers, 26 RBI and an OPS of .796. Not bad for a player in his first full season of MLB action.

If you get swept by the ‘worst team of all-time’, does that make you the worst team of all-time? That’s the question the Nationals must ask themselves after getting swept out of their own building by the lowly Rockies. Beck’s eighth inning home run acted as valuable insurance after a James Wood double in the inning before cut their lead to one. That homer – Beck’s ninth on the season – also gave him an .801 OPS in what’s been an excellent rookie season.

It’s good that the Rockies have started playing Tyler Freeman regularly, but it shouldn’t come at Beck’s expense. If the Rockies wanted to squeeze in Sam Hilliard tonight — and they do, apparently — they could have used Freeman at second and sat Thairo Estrada. At .260/.322/.457, Beck has been the Rockies third best hitter behind Hunter Goodman and Freeman.

It appears to be nothing more than a regular day of rest for the 24-year-old outfielder with tough opposing right-hander Spencer Strider toeing the slab for the Braves. Sam Hilliard will start in his place in left field and will bat leadoff for the Rockies on Saturday.
