Berigan got a later start to his 2025 High School campaign, but in his third appearance (2nd start) of the spring the talented uncommitted righthander showed off his high level pitching ability. Facing a strong Oaks Christian lineup Berigan was not only effective, but downright dominant in his four inning outing. From pitch one of the day his FB was not only showing the lively riding shape it displayed when I first saw it in 2024, but actually showed a tick more life/ride. Sitting at 87-89 MPH over the course of the outing while touching 90 MPH multiple times he collected 10+ whiffs in zone with the heater and was able to locate it to the arm side/glove side while showing ability to work north/south with the elevation to still produce whiff/soft contact. His primary secondary was a powerful vertical breaking CB in the 76-79 MPH range which induced chase/whiff from both RH and LH hitters. His feel for the pitch was sound, even backing off later in the outing to the 74 MPH range on it as a cross-count strike offering before coming back later in the at bat with the more powerful version for a whiff or chase. Jameson mixed in a trio of 81-83 MPH changeups that flash arm side fade and throws it with FB arm speed, but his feel for the offering is still developing. The overall operation of his delivery has improved with better use of the lower ½ allowing him to maintain his direction down the mound more consistently into release while still showing a quick arm that is borderline fast projecting future increases in his FB velocity and breaking ball life above their already strong present profiles. The future ceiling for Berigan is intriguing while looking the part of starter at the next level and is one of the top uncommitted arms in the 2026 in SoCal and the state of California.
