Shortly after the pick was announced, Brewers scout Marty Lehn (White Rock, BC) told Peace Arch News that Trogrlic-Iverson “has some real good upside.” Trogrlic-Iverson did not sign with Milwaukee, instead opting to continue his collegiate career and his studies at Gonzaga.

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

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.

Iverson jumped on scouts’ radars early in 2018, when the sophomore touched 96 mph in the first weekend of the season. For most of the year the Ontario, Canada native’s fastball velocity has sat in the low 90s, however, touching 93 mph. Because of his smaller, 6-foot-1, 170-pound stature, Iverson doesn’t project to add more zip to his average fastball. He has good feel for all four of his pitches, with his curveball, slider and changeup projecting to be average pitches. Scouts noted that Iverson’s stuff backed up as the season progressed, likely due to his lack of size. He competes well and has feel for the game.
