Teams across the country are in the thick of the 2015 season, trying to make a push toward the postseason. Experience is a key factor to success, but some teams are getting contribution from unlikely sources—freshmen.

The 5-foot-11, 165 pound freshman starts at second base for the No. 7 Eagles. In arguably the toughest conference in Indiana (Hoosier Crossroads), the switch-hitter is hitting a respectable .260 with four doubles in 56 plate appearances. Bertram, ranked No. 18 overall, possesses quick, athletic actions in the field with arm strength.
