Overview

Berg put up big hitting numbers in the Patriot League for West Point. As a senior, he hit 290/404/605. He also had a .950 OPS as a junior. He’s had good walk rates but also swings and misses a fair amount. A very good athlete, he played a lot at second, and some at first and third, apart from catching. He’s considered a good receiver and controls the running game well. Berg signed for $11,300 less than the slot amount.
