Burnett has a simple motion in windup that gets him to consistent delivery and release point. It’s a high leg kick with a coiled lower half. Long arm arc to high ¾ release. Uses lower half well and can add to his front side leverage. Fastball ranged from 83-87.6 and he threw a trio of offspeed pitches. Curveball at 69 mph, slider at 70 mph and a changeup at 75-77 mph. There’s more in the tank for Burnett and he’ll be a great follow as he develops.

This was Burnett's first PBR event and he impressed on the mound. The Erie HS right-hander has a big frame at 6-foot-3, 205-pounds. Fastball ranged from 85-89 mph. The slider was 70-72 mph and the changeup was 79 mph. Arm has looseness with attacking delivery. High leg lift with slight coil. Still developing 2023 with TONS of potential on the mound.
