PITTSBURGH — Former Tennessee outfielder Jordan Beck made an incredible catch for the Colorado Rockies against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Saturday.
Beck was in left field. The ball was hit his way and he took action. He dove, fully stretching out and came up with the catch for the out.
Beck was called up by the Rockies on April 30 after spending the start of the 2024 season in AAA ball with the Albuquerque Isotopes.
He was selected by the team in the 2022 MLB Draft with the 38th overall pick.
Beck has struggled in the MLB so far. He is 3 of 18 from the plate with 11 strikeouts.
In AAA, he had a .307 batting average in 25 games in Albuquerque prior to being called up to the big leagues.
Beck played three seasons at Tennessee before getting drafted. He had a .287 batting average in his career at UT. He hit 15 home runs and had 64 RBIs in 2021. In his final year in 2022, he had 18 home runs and 61 RBIs.
