Scouting Report

Assets
  • Berkman is a switch-hitter with good power to both hit the ball out of the park and into the gaps for doubles. He's also got a consistent bat and good patience.
Flaws
  • Berkman's strength isn't in his glove. He's also quite prone to the K and struggles with off-speed stuff.
Career Potential
  • Can be an MVP candidate.
