Beukema is surprisingly quick for a central defender. His pace gives him an advantage in making runs behind.

(6'2" / 188 cm) his height makes him very useful in aerial duels, both defensively when clearing crosses and offensively during set-pieces.

This is his core strength. His tackling is clean, interceptions are sharp, and he positions himself well to shut down attacks.

Strong and composed, Beukema doesn’t get bullied by physical strikers. He can shoulder opponents off the ball, win ground duels, and impose his presence.
