Could be turning corner at High-A Berry has five multi-hit performances and six extra-base hits in his last 12 games for High-A Beloit, slashing .333/.415/.556 over that stretch with a 15.1 percent strikeout rate. Impact The sixth overall pick in the 2022 MLB Draft, Berry has struggled badly this season and had a .509 OPS and 24.2 percent K rate in 194 plate appearances before his recent hot streak began. The 22-year-old has mostly played third base for Beloit, but his best defensive position will probably be DH, so his bat needs to carry him if he's going to reach the majors. The surge is encouraging, but Berry has a long way to go to live up to his draft status.
