Honors:
- 2007 Cape Cod League All-Star
Strengths:
Beckham made big improvements in his sophomore year for the Bulldogs and in the Cape Cod League. He’s a slightly above-average runner and a steady glove. A best case scenario pencils him as a starting big league shortstop.

The Future:
Mid to late first round.
