Theodore Lester (T.J.) Beam (born August 28, 1980 in Scottsdale, Arizona) is a relief pitcher for the New York Yankees.
Beam made his major league debut on June 17, 2006 against the Washington Nationals at RFK Stadium in the bottom of the sixth inning. Beam pitched 1 and 1/3 of an inning giving up one homerun, 3 hits, and receiving one earned run. Beam's first career at bat resulted in a check swing strikeout by former Yankee relief pitcher Mike Stanton.
Beam won his first game on June 20, 2006 by pitching one-third of an inning, retiring the only batter he faced (Aaron Rowand), against the Philadelphia Phillies.
