Recent Army graduate Andrew Berg has been picked up by the Chicago White Sox organization, though he has not been assigned to a minor-league affiliate as of yet.
Since graduation, Berg has appeared 15 times with the MLB Draft League’s Trenton Thunder, posting a 0.75 ERA and 33 strikeouts over 24 innings.
At West Point, Berg was part of three regular-season Patriot League championship seasons and two tournament titles. This season Berg made 13 starts, achieving six innings in all but three. He led the Black Knights staff with a 4.03 ERA, 58 strikeouts and 82.2 innings pitched. He was selected as a second-team Patriot all-star.
Berg becomes the 25th West Point graduate to achieve status as a baseball pro. Older brother Derek was a 10th-round MLB Draft pick by the Pittsburgh Pirates, and recent standouts Tanner Greshman and Sam Ruta received free agent opportunities with the Philadelphia Phillies and Kansas City Royals, respectively.
The White Sox farm system (from bottom to top) include the Dominican Summer League White Sox (rookie); the Arizona Complex League White Sox (rookie); the Kannapolis Cannon Ballers (Class A Carolina League); Winston-Salem Dash (Class A+ South Atlantic League); Birmingham Barons (Class AA Southern League); and, Charlotte Knights (Class AAA International League).
