As we continue to strive to give you the most boots-to-the-ground scouting information across the commonwealth, it is with great pleasure that PBR Virginia/DC introduces the addition of Jason Burton to the Virginia/DC scouting staff as our Richmond Area Scouting Coordinator.  

Burton joins the PBR Virginia/DC staff after a four year stint as the head coach at Dinwiddie HS.  A Richmond area native his entire life, Burton began his coaching career at Dinwiddie as an assistant coach from 2008 to 2012 immediately following his college playing career. Burton would then spend the 2013 season as an assistant at Matoaca HS before returning back to Dinwiddie in 2014 as Head Coach.

Burton saw tremendous success turning around The General baseball program in his four years as the Head Coach, leading The Gens to two Regional Semifinals, one conference co-championship, and one regional championship. Burton engineered one of the most successful seasons in Dinwiddie history last season in 2018, as The Gens won the region 4B championship (the first since 1990) and made their first appearance to the VHSL State Tournament since 1999. That same team featured the Region 4B Player of the year Tomas Sanchez (VCU) and 39th Rd. Draft pick of the San Diego Padres Seth Mayberry.

Raised in Dinwiddie,  Burton graduated from Dinwiddie in 2002. He played at Hampden-Sydney college from 2002-2004 and transferred to Virginia State University where he played from 2005-2007. Burton graduated from VSU in December of 2007. 

Burton's ever expanding knowledge of the game and expertise of evaluating talent will be a tremendous asset to PBR Virginia/DC as we continue to strive to give you the most up-to-date information on players around the greater Richmond area. His relentless attitude and work ethic will give deeper coverage and knowledge of amateur baseball in central Virginia.

Welcome, Coach Burton
