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.
