Draft Prospects

School: Texas. Committed/Drafted: Never Drafted. Age At Draft: 21.8.
Burns is an electric-armed righthander who pitched as a starter for Arizona State in 2024, then transferred to Texas and threw out of the bullpen in 2025. Between the two seasons he’s thrown just 57 total innings, with a 4.26 ERA and 31.5% strikeout rate. At 6-foot-3, 230 pounds, Burns has a big league build with a power stuff to match. He sits in the mid 90s with a fastball that has been up to 100 mph, and the pitch also comes with elite riding life. He generated a 42% miss rate with the fastball in 2025. Burns also throws a slider and cutter in the mid 80s, a changeup in a similar range, and a top-down curveball in the low 80s. Upping the curveball usage in 2026 could help him unlock an even more dynamic north-south profile to go with his big fastball. -
