Burgess has a very lanky, taller frame with a long wingspan and a lot of projection left to him. Throws from low three-quarters arm slot, short loose quick arm action, easier effort. Drop and drive delivery, hides ball some, shoulders level and closed as he strides out to a slightly open landing with an athletic finish. Fastball sat 81-85, touching 86 once, pitch has a tough angle with late armside run that also gets some depth to it. Showed a breaking ball that was 74 with good armspeed and sharp 10/4 break. Was around the zone with all of his pitches, but command was off in his first outing of the spring. Burgess has a lot of projection left and a lot more velocity coming in his future, will be a fun prospect to watch.
