Chris Beck encouraged by gains after frustrating end to last season

GLENDALE, Ariz. — After all the uncertainty he faced last year in regard to his ulnar collateral ligament, Chris Beck couldn’t have expected to be in this position.

He’s less than four months removed from surgery, yet the White Sox pitching prospect feels strong enough to think about mechanics and adjustments before his next throwing session.

On Friday, Beck, who had surgery Nov. 4, received positive feedback from some of the White Sox heaviest hitters during a live batting practice session.

Given all he experienced from June to November, worrying he might need Tommy John surgery and the ensuing rehab, Beck is fortunate to be where he is.
