He was listed as the number 9 player in Tennessee by Perfect game, and chose to join the Volunteers following his high school career. Beam made an immediate impact as a freshman, making 17 appearances and 16 starts. He held an impressive 2.72 ERA as a true freshman, striking out 62 batters and walking 21 in 76.0 innings. His opposing batting average was .186. He was selected as SEC Freshman of the Year, and earned All-SEC Freshman Team and All-SEC Second Team.
