Most influential people in my baseball life: “My parents (mom Marta Trogrlic, dad Gord Iverson) and my sister (Adrienne Trogrlic-Iverson.) My parents have always found ways to provide me with everything I need to be successful in the game of baseball. They have motivated and believed in me along the way, even at times when I didn’t believe in myself. My sister (a professional equestrian rider in the U.S.) is a very hardworking individual and watching her compete and do everything she has to in order to succeed is amazing to watch.”

Scouting Reports

Perfect Game

One of the top junior college arms in the country this season, Iverson went 8-3 with a 2.35 ERA across 76 2/3 innings, striking out 91 and doing a fair job of limiting his walks. He’s a bit on the smaller end in terms of righthanded starting pitchers, but he has solid present stuff, does a good job of throwing strikes and does project some in terms of physicality. He usually lives in the 90-93 mph range with his fastball and the pitch features significant late life. His slider has shown average in the past but doesn’t live there, and he also works in more of a curveball look as well as a changeup, although both pitches will continue to need work and repetitions for them to be more effective offerings. There is legitimate upside here but most scouts feel he could be best suited for the bullpen long term.
