A southeast-born player is headed to the big leagues as the Saskatoon Berries announced that Carter Beck would be re-signing.
Beck, the 2024 WCBL Most Outstanding Player & Rookie of the Year, had a great performance in his first year, showing off a batting average of .374, 11 homers, 53 runs, 38 RBI and 19 stolen bases in 51 games played.
In their release, Beck said that "It was a super easy decision to come back, especially with how well the Jam Fam treated us all year."
Beck's debut in the league led to an all-star performance as he won MVP at the 2024 WCBL All-Star Game by posting three RBIs and managed to get the runner up award in the Home Run Derby.
"We are very excited to have Carter back in Saskatoon for the upcoming summer. He was an impact guy for our season and brings energy to the park everyday. The level of his day to day consistency in work ethic, attitude and competitiveness is special," said Berries Head Coach Joe Carnahan.
Beck says that he's looking forward to the experience again this summer.
"I'm thrilled to be back in Saskatoon. I'm just excited to play in front of a packed house with the Jam Fam going nuts. Playing baseball there is some of the most fun I have ever had in my life," said Beck.
The Berries begin their season on May 29th with a game against the Weyburn Beavers.
