Name: Jacob Burlingame
High School: Horseheads
Position: RHP/OF

Burlingame has exploded onto the scene in the summer of 2014 after having an impressive sophomore campaign for Horseheads Varsity Baseball. After showing well at our June 21st event he was asked to go compete in the PBR Pennsylvania Border Battle in mid July. He performed so well there that he was asked to be on team PA in the National PBR Future Games this past weekend.

The 2016 graduate had this to say about this experiences so far this summer with PBR:

"PBR as a whole is one of the best tools around built to give high level exposure to players wishing to play at the next level. The Future Games were unbelievable. It was by far the most college coaches I've ever seen at one event and they really run their events top notch. I can not wait until Aug 16."

Scouting Report on Burlingame:
Jacob Burlingame RHP/OF (Horseheads HS, NY 2016)
Burlingame stands 5-foot-10 170-pounds and impressed Saturday. He has a clean, smooth, effortless delivery and arm action sitting 80-83 mph but there’s more in the tank. Curveball has a lot of spin with 11/5 shape sitting 65-66 mph. He needs to improve on his changeup command but showed the makings of one with good hand speed at 73 mph. Burlingame has a lot of projection and is young, look forward to seeing him grow.

OF/Hitting - Burlingame has great outfield instincts and has a quick clean arm with accuracy and carry. OF velocity was 84-87 mph and there's a lot of upside with his potential. Batting he shows quick hands to the ball with a lot of back spin. His exit velo off a tee was 86 mph with a clean flat barrel through the zone with a high finish.
