They also saw Burns' magnificent speed.
On his infield hit in the sixth inning, Burns' home-to-first time was 3.75 seconds, which seemed ridiculously fast in person. It was his fastest non-bunt time this season -- he posted a 3.5-second time on a drag bunt earlier this year.
Burns said he isn't aware of his times.
"Not really, unless someone tells me," he said.
Well, plenty of teammates told Burns about his home-to-first times last March.
Statcast™ determined that Burns had the best average home-to-first time in 2015 at 3.85 seconds, topping Dee Gordon and Billy Hamilton.
