Timeline

1986

James Gordon Beckham III (born September 16, 1986) is an American former professional baseball infielder who serves as a fill-in sportscaster for the Atlanta Braves and the Chicago White Sox of Major League Baseball.

He played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Chicago White Sox, Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, Atlanta Braves, San Francisco Giants, Seattle Mariners, and Detroit Tigers.

A native of Atlanta, Beckham attended The Westminster Schools, where he played quarterback and free safety on the football team.

Beckham went on to play college baseball for the University of Georgia.

2006

As a freshman in 2006, Beckham started all 81 at shortstop, helping to lead the Bulldogs to the College World Series.

He was named a Freshman All-American that year.

As a sophomore, he started all 56 games that Georgia played.

2007

After his sophomore season in 2007, he played collegiate summer baseball for the Yarmouth–Dennis Red Sox of the Cape Cod Baseball League, where he batted .284 with 9 home runs in 42 games, was named the starting shortstop for the East Division All-Star team, and helped lead the Red Sox to the league championship.

As a junior, he was the only unanimous selection to the All-SEC First Team and was selected as the SEC Player of the Year.

He was also selected as an All-American, an Academic All-American, a Finalist for the NCAA Player of the Year and a Finalist for the Golden Spikes Award.

2008

He led the NCAA in home runs that year, setting the school's single season home run record (26) and tied the school record for most home runs in a career (51) against NC State on June 8, 2008 in the deciding third game of the Super Regionals that sent Georgia to the College World Series.

The home run came on his last at-bat at his home Foley Field, after which he received a curtain call.

On June 25, 2008 with his last at bat as a college player, Beckham tied Matt Clark of LSU as the 2008 season home run leader (28).

Beckham was selected eighth overall in the 2008 Major League Baseball Draft by the Chicago White Sox.

2009

Considered the number 1 rated prospect in the Chicago White Sox system at the start of the 2009 season according to Baseball America, Beckham played in the Arizona Fall League for the Peoria Saguaros.

He lit up the AFL, hitting .394 with 3 HRs and a .468 OBP in 66 at-bats.

He continued to impress in Spring Training, hitting .270 with 2 HR and 6 RBI in 37 at-bats.

He forced his way into contention for the Sox' 25-man opening day roster, but it was eventually decided that he should start the season at the Sox' Double-A affiliate, the Birmingham Barons.

After batting .299 over 38 games with the Barons, Beckham was promoted to Class AAA Charlotte Knights on May 27, 2009 and switched from his natural position at shortstop to third base.

This was seen as a clear indication that he was being prepared for a Major League call-up, as White Sox third baseman Josh Fields was struggling at the plate and on defense.

On June 3, 2009, the White Sox purchased Beckham's contract, adding him to the major league roster after he had hit .326 with 23 doubles, four home runs and 25 RBI in 175 at-bats between Double-A Birmingham and Triple-A Charlotte.

Thus, Beckham reached the Majors 364 days after he was selected by the White Sox.

He became the second position player from his draft class, behind the Giants' Conor Gillaspie, to make his MLB debut when, on June 4, 2009, he started at third base for the White Sox against the Oakland Athletics.

In his debut Beckham went 0-3 with a strikeout and reached on a fielder's choice.

He became the Sox' everyday starting third baseman, due to Josh Fields, and utility infielder Wilson Betemit's inadequacies at the plate and on defense.

Beckham struggled initially in the major leagues, going 2-for-28 over his first eight games.

He got his first MLB hit, a single to center field, in his 14th at-bat on June 9, 2009 at U.S. Cellular Field, after which he received a standing ovation from the home crowd.

On June 20, 2009, Beckham hit his first major league home run, a three-run shot in the fourth inning of the annual MLB Civil Rights Game, off Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Johnny Cueto.

Beckham's milestone home run came while the Reds were ahead 5-0, and sparked a comeback victory for the Sox.

On June 27, 2009, Beckham hit a walk-off single with two men on and two out in the bottom of the 9th inning against the crosstown rival Chicago Cubs, his first walk-off hit.

On June 29, 2009, Beckham went 3 for 3 with a walk and 2 RBIs as the Sox beat the Cleveland Indians, 6-3.

On October 20, 2009, Beckham was named the Sporting News' 2009 American League Rookie of the Year, as selected by a panel of 338 major league players, 22 managers and 31 general managers and assistant general managers.

On October 26, 2009 Beckham was voted the American League Rookie of the Year by the MLBPA, which is voted on in September by every player on a major league roster.

The trade was completed on February 4, 2015, as minor leaguer Yency Almonte was sent to the White Sox.

On January 28, 2015, Beckham signed a one-year, $2 million contract to return to the Chicago White Sox.

He since battled hamstring injuries with two stints on the disabled list.
