TONY-OH's scouting report from November:

http://forum.orioleshangout.com/forums/showthread.php/145268-Tim-Berry-2014-Scouting-Report?highlight=Berry

Put up his best professional season statistically speaking until being shutdown in early August with shoulder tendonitis. The left-hander who has been plagued by inconsistency in the past, had his most consistent year only allowing more than three earned runs on four of his 23 starts. Berry held Eastern League batters to a career low .249 with left-handers hitting just .212 with 34 K's and only five walks in 39.2 innings. Berry's velocity dropped back a bit in 2015 settling in around 90-92 MPH but he's learned to command his fastball better and gets more movement at the lower velocity. Berry's best pitch is his changeup which is one of the organization's best. It's plus pitch that can get swings and misses. unfortunately though, his curveball that was once a weapon was inconsistent and took a step back this season. With at least three pitches, you would think the rotation is in his future but there are concerns that he tires as the games go on and that he might struggle to get through a major league lineup three times. In addition, his stuff can be absolutely electric in short stints. His fastball sat 93-95 MPH in 1-2 inning stints last spring and several scouts felt his stuff was better than Eduardo Rodriguez's when he pitched out of the pen. Although Berry could end up a back of the rotation starter, he could end up a real weapon out of the pen. If healthy, he'll start 2015 in Norfolk and could see major league action as well.

This thread contains all of the statistics for Berry's outings with AA-Bowie this past season (2014), up until the time that he was put on the injured-reserve list in mid-August for (very minor) shoulder tendinitis.

Stats include his pitches for each individual inning (including strikes and balls per each inning.)

Starting in mid-May, the statistics also include the types of outs that Berry recorded (strikeouts, groundballs, fly balls, lineouts, double plays, pick-offs, caught stealing, etc.)

A nice interview. He sounds like a smart kid.

Agreed. And he easily could get a call-up in 2015.

I remember seeing him pitch a bit in Spring Training last year and came away impressed by how smooth he looked. In the not too distant future I can see him helping the O's as long as his health holds up. Sounds like a really bright guy too.
