Prospect Profile – Charcer Burks Grinds It Out in South Bend

As the South Bend Cubs go through a rough streak, losing seven of ten, Charcer Burks is one player that shows up every night to play left field and be a spark in an offense lacking one. Burks is hitting in the leadoff spot, getting on base for Gleyber Torres, Chesny Young (until last week), and Cael Brockmeyer to drive in. Burks is currently hitting .308 in 40 games with 22 runs and 13 stolen bases. He has walked 14 times for an OBP of .364. And to top it off, he had a 12-game hitting streak that ended on Saturday night.
