Becerra was drafted in the third round (27th overall) of the 2006 MLS Supplemental Draft by the Columbus Crew. He saw no first team action during the 2006 season with the Crew.

He featured as a starter for them in a new position, central defense, and saw 4 games with the Kings, the last being August 13, 2006[3], before being returned to the Crew. He was waived during the 2007 pre-season as the Crew sought to become roster-compliant.
Having been unable to secure a spot with a professional team during 2007 or 20098, Becerra signed for Ventura County Fusion of the USL Premier Development League for the 2009 season. He made his debut for the team on May 30, 2009, in a game against Bakersfield Brigade.[4]
