Derek Berg

Scout’s note

A 10th-round pick out of the 2024 draft, Berg hits the ball far harder than his .181 AAA average admits. His EV95 of 108.76 lands in the 92nd percentile of the 504 AAA bats we track — the contact is real, graded 0.36 on the MLB value grid. The box score says 49 strikeouts in 39 games at Indianapolis; the engine says the bat plays. A 25-year-old catcher from Shenandoah, Texas, earning his way past the noise.
