Robbie Beckett (born July 16, 1972) is a former Major League Baseball pitcher.

Starting out for the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes in the Padre's farm system, he was soon well known for his impressive 100 mph fastballs at the young age of 21.

During one spring training session, veteran MLB hitters refused to go to bat against such a powerful and erratic pitch and risk injury so early in the season.

[1] Unable to make progress in the Padres farm system, the team waived Beckett on March 29, 1996.

Beckett made his Major League debut with the Rockies on September 12, 1996, when he was 24 years old.
