Chase Burns made an impressive debut for Wake Baseball, showcasing his pitching prowess with a standout performance. Throughout the game, Burns demonstrated exceptional skill, striking out 10 batters over 6.0 innings while allowing only 3 hits and 1 walk, and maintaining a 0 run score. His fastball consistently hit the 99-101 mph range, complemented by a 92 mph slider and a mid-80s hammer, achieving a 51.2 Whiff%. Burns' ability to strike out the first 14 batters he faced, including 9 via strikeout, and his overall command and intent on the mound, highlighted his potential as a top draft pick. His performance, featuring a mix of fastballs, sliders, and a notable 'sword' celebration, has solidified his reputation as a formidable right-handed pitcher, potentially the #1 RHP in the country and MLB's No. 16 Draft prospect.
