Career

Beswick was drafted by the San Diego Padres in the 5th round of the 1976 amateur draft and played that season for the Class A short-season Walla Walla Padres. He spent 1977 playing for the Class A Reno Silver Sox and most of 1978 with the Double-A Amarillo Gold Sox.

In August 1978, Beswick was called up to the major league club. He appeared in 17 games for the Padres, primarily as a pinch hitter and pinch runner. He was sent back to the minors following the season, and spent 1979–1981 playing for the Triple-A Hawaii Islanders.

In 1982 he signed with the California Angels organization and played for the Double-A Holyoke Millers and Nashua Angels. His American professional baseball career ended after the 1983 season at the age of 25.

gollark: Perhaps they're semirandom. Perhaps I devise bespoke bluffs by myself and then share them. Perhaps my bluffs are optimized automatically via testing against high-fidelity computer simulations of all other participants. Perhaps I don't make bluffs but merely disseminate cognitohazards causing perception of bluffs. Perhaps my every word and bluff is meticulously generated to produce minimum guessing of me. Perhaps I never bluff and every word I say is accurate.
gollark: I generate my bluffs via RNG now to avoid the terribleness of human random number generation (heavpoot has data on this), unless I don't and am trying to trick you into not making inferences from them.
gollark: Unless I didn't but am *not* trying to fool you all.
gollark: Unless I didn't and am trying to fool you all, of course.
gollark: I attempted to completely leave any chat here in the guessing phase out of my decision-making.
