Track Record: Bermudez had a 1.95 ERA and earned NAIA pitcher of the year honors at Southeastern (Fla.) in 2018, after which Houston selected him in the 23rd round and gave him a $75,000 signing bonus. He reached Double-A Corpus Christi during the 2019 season, but the Astros did not include him in their 60-man player pool during the 2020 season. Bermudez came back with a breakout 2021 season, garnering Astros minor league pitcher of the year honors and a spot on the club’s 40-man roster after a strong showing at Triple-A Sugar Land.
Scouting Report: Bermudez is a pitchability lefty with enough deception to project as a back-end starter. His four-seam fastball sits 91-93 mph with enough rise and run to miss some bats. Both his changeup and splitter have huge tailing action and sit in the low to mid 80s. He throws two variations of a slider: one short with cut in the low 80s and a sweeper in the high 70s. Bermudez hides the ball well in his delivery and has some funk to keep hitters off balance. Astros officials think he has more velocity in his big frame, too. He throws plenty of strikes with average control.
The Future: Bermudez broke out in 2021 and is on the major league doorstep because of it. He should start 2022 in Triple-A and could be in line for his major league debut.
