Bergman was pitcher of the year in the short-season Northwest League in 2011, and he came to spring training last year ticketed to move up one level to Asheville. But instead he pitched his way to Modesto and ended up as the pitcher of the year in the California League after tying for the minor league lead with 16 wins. After he lost June 16 in the final game of the first half, Bergman won eight straight in the second half and went 1-1, 1.50 in two playoff games. Bergman succeeds with standout command. All of his pitches are average, but they play better than that because of his feel for locating them. He pitches at 89-92 mph with his fastball, also throws a curveball and changeup, and has started to mix in a cutter/slider. He has also proven to be durable. After succeeding at the lower levels, where he was always on the old side, Bergman will move up to Double-A in 2013 and face the challenge of getting out better hitters. He profiles as a fifth starter and has a strong track record of success.
