Burkholder is a West Virginia commit. He has a lankier athletic frame that has some strength present and room to add more. Played centerfield, shows quickness in the outfield and throws have some carry and accuracy. At the plate, shows the ability to handle the bat, showed drag bunt in most of his at-bats and kept it in the opposing team's mind. Hits from the right side, wider balanced athletic stance, keeps toe down for stride, short load back, hips fire with some violence and he maintains good balance through contact. Quick bat, slightly uphill path with some strength at contact, line drive hitter right now with extra base power to pull side and in gaps, chance to add more as he continues to add strength.
