Jason Berken

Jason Berken was a professional baseball pitcher who played in Major League Baseball from 2009 to 2012. Born in 1983, Berken made his debut with the Baltimore Orioles, contributing to a team that was in a rebuilding phase during the late 2000s and early 2010s. Over the course of his career, he recorded a win-loss record of 10-20 and posted an earned run average (ERA) of 5.36. He struck out a total of 163 batters, showcasing his ability to miss bats despite the challenges of consistent performance that often come with a young pitching staff. Berken was known for his competitive spirit and resilience on the mound, characteristics that were particularly valuable in an era when pitchers faced increasing scrutiny over their performance metrics. While he did not accumulate saves in his career, his role as a starter and reliever provided depth to the Orioles' pitching rotation during a transitional period for the franchise. After his playing days, Berken's contributions to the game were remembered not only for his statistics but also for his work ethic and dedication to the sport.
