About Josh Beckett

MLB All-Star pitcher who pitched a game-six shutout to help the Florida Marlins upset the New York Yankees in the 2003 World Series; he won a World Series with the Boston Red Sox in 2007.

Joshua Patrick Beckett is an American former professional baseball pitcher in Major League Baseball. A three-time MLB All-Star, he played for the Florida Marlins, the Boston Red Sox, and the Los Angeles Dodgers. After a stellar high school career in which he was regarded as one of the top prospects in the country, Beckett was drafted by the Marlins with the second pick in the 1999 MLB draft. He won the 2003 World Series with the Marlins and the 2007 World Series with the Red Sox, and received the 2007 American League Championship Most Valuable Player award and the 2003 World Series MVP award. Beckett was traded from the Marlins to the Red Sox in 2006 and from the Red Sox to the Dodgers in 2012, both as part of multi-player transactions. Beckett recovered from a serious injury that caused him to miss most of the 2013 season. He pitched a no-hitter for the Dodgers against the Philadelphia Phillies on May 25, 2014, becoming the 19th man in Dodgers history to pitch a no-hitter.
