3. Chase Burns

Right-Handed Pitcher, Tennessee 

Primarily a two-pitch guy to this point, Burns offers a mid-to-upper 90s fastball that's touched 99 and figures to tickle triple digits as he continues to mature. Burns' slider is thrown hard and firm, up to 89, sitting 84-87 with two-plane tilt; more depth than sweep. Burns' spin rates are high, and he's got a track record of commanding the baseball and overpowering the opposition. 

As he starts working in his curveball and splitter, the arsenal should continue to overwhelm hitters. It's a pro body with projection remaining in terms of lean muscle and flexibility still untapped.
