What are the odds an NRI makes the Marlins out of camp? For each of them, the odds are pretty low, but it’s likely that one or two may buck the trend and make it. It’s a path that Jon Berti is familiar with.
Berti is a five-foot-10 second baseman from Troy, MI. Born on this date 30 years ago, he was taken in the 18th round of the 2011 draft by the Toronto Blue Jays. In parts of nine minor league seasons, he’s hit .258/.344/.359 with 270 stolen bases in 350 tries.
Although technically a second baseman, Berti has made many career appearances at third base, shortstop, center field and left field.
