Peyton Burdick may be one such future big leaguer. Six-foot-even and 210 lbs., the right-handed native of Batavia, OH was the Miami Marlins third round choice this past June.
Turning 23-years-old today, Burdick played three seasons of Division 1 baseball with the Wright State Raiders, missing 2017 for Tommy John Surgery. His most impressive season by far was his red-shirt junior year of 2019, when he hit .407/.538/.729 in 59 games. He hit 15 homers with 72 RBI, while drawing nearly twice as many walks as strikeouts, 60-to-35 and stealing 24 bases.
