Baylor’s hard-throwing righty with upside, but the command still has to catch up
In the 2026 season, Brayden Bergman showed the profile Baylor recruited: a power RHP with swing-and-miss stuff, but also real command volatility, finishing with a 5.64 ERA, 23 walks and 26 strikeouts in 21 appearances before entering the portal. He’s intriguing because he can miss bats and limit hard contact, and he already bounced back from an injury-shortened 2025 debut, which suggests resilience. If your staff wants a developmental arm with upside and bite, he’s worth the look; if you need instant strike-throwing certainty, the fit is less clean.
