Reid Bertram is a workhorse lefty with strikeout upside for Gardner-Webb
Bertram profiles as a durable, innings-gathering **left-handed starter** with real swing-and-miss ability: in 2024 he made 10 appearances and nine starts with 24 strikeouts and a 4.15 ERA, and he was later named to the 2026 National Pitcher of the Year Watchlist after opening the season 2-1 with a complete game in 21.1 innings. His value is the combination of size, starter experience, and a proven role in big games, though his early-2025 form showed some volatility (6.75 ERA in 14.2 innings).[1][3][8]
