What Did We See?
Bernas has long been a highly-competitive, strike thrower,with a three-pitch mix. The 5-foot-9, 160-pound left-hander has been getting outs at the varisty level since he was a freshman topping out in the low-70s. Fast forward to Bernas' junior year and we have seen his fastball velocity steadily tick up into the low-8's while the rest of his offerings have sharpened up as well.
Bernas is an under-the-radar, uncommitted junior, whose stuff has always played up thanks to his polish, poise and competitiveness.
