Scouting Report

5.22.16:  Burke is 6-0 tall and has a lankier athletic frame. Throws from a three-quarters arm slot with a long, quick arm action that generates velocity with normal effort. Shoulders are uphill and closed and he has a square landing with an athletic finish. Fastball had good angle and sat 79-82, touching 83. Slowed arm a bit on 10/4 slider that was 62-63. Decent armspeed on fading change-up that was 70-73. Burke hits from a wide, preloaded stance. He has a low elbow start, is short to the baseball, and ends in a long, uphill finish. He showed good bat speed and power with an exit velocity of 89. Defensively, Burke threw 86 from the outfield out of a long arm action. His footwork was smooth and he covered a lot of ground in his transfer. After release, he stayed in line to target.
