FR. RHP Collin Burns (Morton) is a new face for the Scots’ looking to eat up some innings this year. The projectable right-hander toes the rubber at 6-foot-2, 195-pounds. He sports an athletic, stretch-only delivery with a compact half arm swing from a ¾ slot. A strike thrower that repeats and competes in the zone with his 3-pitch mix. Fastball sat 87-88 with feel for it while spinning a curveball at 74-75 mph with sharp 1/7 shape. He rounded out his arsenal showing some feel to turn over a changeup with heavy arm side run (14.5” HM avg.) in the 81-83 mph range. Jumps are likely as he continues to add strength to the frame.
