Tristan Beck’s 2024 season started as a tragedy but ended as a triumph.
Soon after arriving in Arizona for the pitchers & catchers reporting deadline, the then-27 year old was shut down with “right hand discomfort.” Doctors discovered the cause: a blood clot in his throwing arm. That surgery shut him down for eight weeks but it also raised the specter of being a career-ender if not career inhibiting. Every surgery carries a risk, after all.
