Bertsch jumped onto the scene in Vancouver at our Fall Open ID in October. At 6-foot-1, 190-pounds, Bertsch utilizes his physicality all over the field. Behind the dish he possesses both a strong arm and a quick transfer, collecting a POP time of 1.84 and velocity of 79 mph. In the box, Bertsch works back up the middle with controlled aggression, staying on a line consistently and reaching a max exit velocity of 90.3 mph. On the mound, he sits in the mid-80s with the fastball and possesses a tight slider in the mid-70s with two-plane break that he can spin at 2300 rpm. His athleticism and physicality will be something to follow when the season gets underway.
