By almost every measure, Chase Burns is the pitching prototype. He’s 6’3” with a long stride and fluid arm motion, and he sports a fastball that can run up to 102 mph. He pairs that with a slider that’s as devastating as they come, and his ability to strike out any and all who faced him at Wake Forest last year was simply otherworldly.
This is why he was the #2 overall pick in last summer’s MLB Draft.
This is also why he checks in as the #2 prospect in the 2025 Red Reporter Community Prospect Rankings, per you.
