This is a re-run of an article I posted on TBLA back on July 28, 2015. It provides a glimpse of Matt Beaty as a pre-MLB player.
Great Lakes Loons third baseman Matt Beaty is enjoying his first season of professional baseball simply doing what he loves to do.
Beaty was born in Dresden, Tennessee and played four years of baseball with the Dresden High School Lions. In each of his four seasons with the team he led the Lions in home runs, batting average, and runs batted in. As a junior he hit 19 home runs and drove in 61 runs in a year when he had exactly zero strikeouts.
