Sammy Berman brings Maryland a versatile, high-IQ two-way spark
In the 2026 season, Sammy Berman was listed by Maryland as a redshirt freshman RHP/INF, and his profile is built on versatility, bat-to-ball skill, and real arm strength rather than flash alone[1]. His prep track record was loud: a .405 career high-school batting average, 1.156 OPS, 1.95 ERA, and 84 strikeouts in 54 innings, plus Prep Baseball Report recognition as one of Maryland’s better shortstop prospects in the Class of 2025[1][2]. He looks like the kind of competitor a staff can trust to keep getting better — a tough, multi-positional player with local roots and legitimate two-way upside[1][3].
