April 21, 2020
As we dig through the players and numbers from this past winter, we are taking a look at a "Progress Report" feature that highlights players that have shown significant improvement in their game; whether it's on the mechanical end, performance wise, physicality or in the measurable statistic department. The "Progress Report" can be a minor improvement in recent months or a substantial transformation over time. Today we take a look at:

What Did We See?
Burnett has been getting quality innings since his freshman year for 2A power St. Joseph-Ogden. Burnett has long been a pitchability right-hander, who fills up the strike zone and can throw any pitch in any count. Between our last look at Burnett in July of 2019 and the Preseason All-State this February, Burnett added 20 pounds of quality muscle and grew an inch. Burnett is now listed at 6-foot, 170-pounds and has seen his velocity and stuff tick up as a result. Given his pitchability, clean arm and spike in velocity, Burnett is an intriguing uncommitted arm in the Illinois' 2021 class.
