Burns is a top arm to follow in the Midwest 2017 Class.

2017 OF Nick Elsen had the two hardest hit balls of the day. One was a line out to centefield and the other was a single to leftfield that was played into a triple. Defensively Elsen showed off a strong arm on a deep fly ball to right field, firing a perfect strike to the cut off man, and a hold a runner at third. Yesterday in workouts he threw 85 mph from the outfield.

Switch-hitting outfielder Carl Valk had a solid day at the plate going 3-5 with a walk. Defensively covered a lot of ground ranging deep into the left centerfield gap to run down a ball.
