- Brad Bergesen is a 23 year old who stands 6-3, 215. The righthander has a medium frame that can add a little more muscle. He attacks hitters from a 3/4 release that is almost low 3/4. His fastball has good sink and a little fade and it looks like he can add and subtract movement from it when he wants. His changeup moves just like his fastball and has great fade and a little sink. His slider is a 3-7 pitch that has good bite, but is just average. He is a groundball machine who showed an ability to pound the zone, but he was in the middle of the plate a little too often. Bergesen does not profile well as a starter to me, being at best, a # 5. However, I think he could be a very useful ROOGY in the mold of a Chad Bradford, running an average fastball into the hands of right handers and getting them to hit groundballs. He could probably spot start as well and not hurt you.

- Shairon Martis was another pitcher who disappointed me. The 6-1, 225 pound right hander has a medium frame that is maxed out. The 21 year old attacked hitters from a 3/4 release. His fastball is a 4-seam that flashes a little fade, but is fairly straight. His changeup has good fade and sink. His slider shows good late bite and is a sharp, 2-7 pitch. He has slightly above average command of all his pitches, but he can also hit spurts where he can't hit a spot. He falls behind hitters in spurts after showing good command the previous innings. He throws his change nearly as much as his fastball. He struggled to command the change and left it high and off the armside corner. Martis profiles as a # 4 or # 5 starter and appears to be a solid innings eater. I thought he possibly could have been a # 3 based off scouting reports I had read, but I don't see it.
