Florida Marlins career (2001-2005)

A native of Spring, Texas, Beckett was discovered by Florida Marlins scout Bob Laurie (who was responsible for discovering Jason Stokes as well). Beckett had signed a letter of intent to play with the Texas A&M Aggies but went pro. His early years in the majors were impressive, but injuries (most frequently blister problems) limited him to only 99 starts (102 appearances) from 2002 to 2005.

Boston Red Sox career (2006-present)

In a deal that was made official on Thanksgiving Day, 2005, Beckett was traded to the Red Sox along with third baseman Mike Lowell and relief pitcher Guillermo Mota for minor league prospects shortstop Hanley Ramírez and pitchers Aníbal Sánchez, Jesús Delgado and Harvey García. Beckett and Lowell, along with fellow players Carlos Delgado, Luis Castillo, Paul Lo Duca, Guillermo Mota, Alex Gonzalez, are the most prominent among a list of veterans the Marlins traded in what was organizationally termed a market correction.

Josh Beckett became the first Red Sox pitcher to hit a home run in 35 years — since the advent of the designated hitter rule — when he took Phillies' pitcher Brett Myers deep during an interleague game on May 20, 2006. On July 18, 2006, Beckett signed a three-year, $30 million contract extension with a $10 million club option for 2010. [3] Beckett completed his first season with the Boston Red Sox with a record of 16-11 and a 5.01 ERA. In 204.2 IP, he gave up 191 hits and struck out 158 batters while walking 74. Beckett allowed 36 home runs, tied for second most in the majors. This article or section needs additional references or sources to improve its verifiability. ...

At the start of the 2007 season, Beckett adjusted to throwing more breaking pitches and fewer fastballs. At the same time, he learned to locate his pitches rather than simply get strikes by power. He reduced his walks and home runs allowed by nearly half, contributing to his success in 2007. Beckett became one of six Boston Red Sox pitchers in history to win their first 7 starts. George Winter and Mickey Harris both won their first 7 starts in a particular season, and Babe Ruth, Dave Ferriss and Roger Moret all won their first 8 starts in a particular season. After a strong first half, posting a 12-2 record with a 3.44 ERA, he was selected to the American League team in the 2007 MLB All-Star Game. Beckett earned the victory in the game after pitching two innings, giving up only one hit, and striking out two. Beckett became the first pitcher to win 20 games in a season since 2005 following a victory against the Tampa Bay Devil Rays on September 21. At the end of the season, Beckett compiled a record of 20-7, with a 3.27 ERA, 194 strikeouts, a 1.14 WHIP, and only 40 walks and 17 homeruns allowed. He was the only 20 game winner in the 2007 season and the only pitcher since 2005 to have a 20 win season. Beckett set career-bests in wins, ERA, strikeouts, WHIP, and also allowed a career-low amount of walks. Beckett's 2-0 record and 1.93 ERA against the Cleveland Indians in the ALCS earned him the 2007 ALCS MVP Award. Beckett started and won the first game of the 2007 World Series against the Colorado Rockies, pitching 7 innings, allowing 1 run on 6 hits, and striking out 9 batters. Boston would go on to sweep the Rockies in the series.

Scouting Report

Beckett is typically called a power pitcher. While many power pitchers evolve into finesse pitchers later in their careers, it has recently been noted that Beckett has already started to rely more on finesse pitching, but still possesses top-level velocity. He has an over-the-top delivery. His four-seam fastball ranges from 92-98 mph, and Beckett imparts heavy tailing action to move it through the zone. He complements this with a heavy sinker (90-94 mph) a two-seam fastball (91-94 mph) a deceptive changeup that tails in at 82-86 mph, and an effective hard-breaking curve (73-79 mph). Beckett generally frustrates hitters by painting the outside corner with his fastball, tailing his changeups inside, and striking batters out swinging with his sinker and 12-6 curve.

Personal life

Beckett has allegedly dated actress Alyssa Milano (Alyssa Milano has stated in her baseball blog that she and Beckett have never dated.[4]), model Leeann Tweeden, and country singer Danielle Peck.[5] On October 18, 2007, Peck was invited by the Cleveland Indians to sing the National Anthem prior to game-5 of the American League Championship Series between the Red Sox and Indians.[6] Beckett was the starting pitcher in that game, and some Red Sox fans theorized that her invitation was an attempt by the Indians organization to distract Beckett. The Indians denied this claim.[7] It did not seem to affect Beckett, as he beat the Indians with eight innings pitched, five hits, one walk, one earned run, and eleven strikeouts.
