PBR MO Uncommitted Spotlight: Luke Burns

October 14, 2022
By: Diego Solares
Area Scout, Illinois & Missouri

With the fall season coming to a close, our staff will take some time to highlight several uncommitted prospects over the next few weeks as we prepare to enter the baseball off-season and throughout. These players have all impressed our staff recently, whether it be at events, tournaments, or other up-close looks via our boots-on-the-ground coverage.

Today we'll shine some light on OF Luke Burns (Desmet, 2023), a name that showed well in front of our staff across two different looks this summer and fall. Burns attended the St. Louis Top Prospect Games in June at Maryville, taking a quality BP round while working on the barrel to all fields, and he recently represented Team Missouri at the Battle For The Arch. We had this to say about him on that day, where he was amongst the event's top position players:

"...took arguably the event’s most polished BP round, repeating quality contact from an athletic right-handed stroke. Burns was all over the barrel throughout, regularly producing 90+ mph exit velocities with a 350 ft. peak batted distance. He’s improved since the St. Louis Top Prospect Games in June, where he was also a standout, and has added muscle onto a 6-foot-1, 195-pound frame. Burns is another top prospect to note in Missouri’s 2023 class that’s still uncommitted."
