Brad Bergesen height - How tall is Brad Bergesen?

He was hired by the Philadelphia Phillies to be the pitching coach for their Single A team in Lakewood for 2018 season

On February 28, 2017, Bergesen signed with the Lancaster Barnstormers of the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball.

After sitting out the 2014 season, Bergesen signed with the York Revolution on May 22, 2015. He became a free agent after the 2015 season.

Bergesen was designated for assignment on May 12, 2012. He was later re-added to the 40-man roster, but was designated for assignment again on July 18.

On July 20, 2012, he was claimed off waivers by the Arizona Diamondbacks.

On November 30, 2012, he signed with the Chunichi Dragons of the NPB's Central League. In 14 appearances (11 starts), Bergesen was 2-2 with a 3.71 ERA, but he posted a meager 3.7 strikeouts per 9 innings.

On May 14, 2011, Bergesen threw a complete game shutout of the Tampa Bay Rays. Bergesen did not allow a single base hit throughout the last six innings of the game. It was his fourth career complete game, but it was his first complete game shutout of his career.

On May 29, 2011, Bergesen was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk, giving up his spot in his rotation to Brian Matusz.

On April 20, 2010, Bergesen was optioned to Norfolk.

Bergesen was called up to the Baltimore Orioles from the Triple-A Norfolk Tides to make his first major-league start on April 21, 2009. He pitched 5​⁄3 innings for the win against the Chicago White Sox, allowing three runs (one earned) on four hits and two walks, striking out four. Bergesen's starts for the next month would be much rockier, as his ERA quickly increased and sat at 5.49 after a start on May 24.

Bergesen finished the 2009 season with 19 starts, 123​⁄3 innings pitched, a WHIP of 1.28, and an ERA of 3.43. Many writers have suggested that if Bergesen had continued to pitch as well as he had and had not been injured, he would have been a strong candidate for Rookie of the Year.

Because his fastball averages a speed of about 89 mph, Bergesen relies on good control of his pitches and avoids walks, rather than striking lots of batters out. His ability to get many ground balls (50.1% ground ball rate in 2009) helps him limit hits to singles and get extra outs via the double play. Though he still allows many home runs.
