Mitchell Berger brings a live arm to EKU with real upside
Berger is an Eastern Kentucky right-hander worth watching because his recruiting profile showed upper-90s potential, including a reported 94 mph fastball, which gives him a higher-ceiling look than his early college numbers suggest[1]. In the 2025 season, he worked 12 1/3 innings over 12 appearances and two starts, striking out 16 but also walking 11, so the raw stuff is there but his command is still the key separator[7]. He fits a staff that values development and upside, especially if you want a pitcher who can miss bats and grow into more consistent strike-throwing[7][1].
