76 Ryan Bergert RHP West Virginia Big 12
West Virginia’s baseball coaching staff got a good indication of Ryan Bergert’s future with the team during his freshman season. And, he more than lived up to his reputation this season as a sophomore.
The 6-foot-2, 200-pound right-hander, a GlenOak High School graduate, was 2-1 with a 2.92 earned run average in four starts with the 11-5 Mountaineers. In 24.2 innings, he struck out 30 and walked 11.
Bergert’s top performance came on Feb. 22 when he worked eight innings in a 5-1 non-league victory against St. Joseph’s (Pa) in Myrtle Beach, S.C. He allowed two hits and an earned run and had a career-high 14 strikeouts. He was named one of the Collegiate Baseball Newspaper National Players of the Week for his performance.
8. RHP Ryan Bergert, West Virginia
Bat: R. Throw: R. 6’2″, 200 lbs. Born 3/8/2000. Hometown: Canton, OH
2019-2020: 4-1, 2.30 ERA, 0.95 WHIP, 68/19 K/BB in 58.2 IP.
Here is a guy who has just dominated everywhere he’s gone. As a true freshman at WVU in 2019, Ryan Bergert came out and posted a 1.80 ERA and a sharp 38/8 strikeout to walk ratio across 34 innings, and he followed that up with a 2.92 mark and a 30/11 K/BB in 24.2 innings in 2020. This summer, he was one of the best pitchers in the Northwoods League, too, with a 2.33 ERA and a 31/10 strikeout to walk ratio across 27 innings. Names like Madden, Kubichek, and Dallas are more recognizable in this Lone Star-centered conference but Bergert is quietly positioning himself as one of the best pitchers available.
Bergert’s numbers stand out, but he has the stuff to match. The 6’2″ righty usually works around 90, but he can reach back for 94-95 at times and his high spin rates help it play faster. He also adds in a really sharp curveball that doesn’t always have the finish he would like, but which flashes plus at his best. The Canton, Ohio native primarily works off those two pitches, but there is still some projection remaining in his frame and his above average command helps him profile as a starting pitcher. He’s going to want to refine that changeup a bit and an uptick in velocity would be nice as well, but you can’t argue with his track record against strong competition and he’s a sleeper to watch for the 2021 draft.
Mack's spin -
Bergert has impressed throughout his young career. I expect that to continue.
If you want him, you better draft him somewhere in the firs two rounds or he will be gone,

Reliever. Nabil Crismatt had more pitches.
