Tim Berry is a guy who has had a longer minor league career than most. The 26-year-old left-hander was a former starter but has been a reliever so far in 2017, having been assigned to several minor league affiliates.

He was once the Baltimore Orioles’ minor league pitcher of the year, but then struggled in 2015 and was released. He pitched in the minor leagues for both the Miami Marlins and the San Diego Padres before ending up back in Baltimore.

Berry can pitch in the major leagues for the Orioles, and being a left-hander aides him. Is he capable of being a late-inning reliever? Possibly.
