After a scorching start that inspired his own set of his T-shirt that: “Flip it like Beckham,” there have been limited opportunities to do so for Tim Beckham. It’s been mostly spot starts and pinch-hit appearances with J.P. Crawford taking over at shortstop.
In that time, Beckham has tried to be patient and professional in waiting for his chances to produce for a team that has no plans of making him part of their future. He waits to play or be told of his next stop.
But that uncertainty was momentarily forgotten in the time that it took for a baseball to leave his bat and rocket over the fence in left field.
