Burlingame stands 5-foot-10 170-pounds with an athletic body. Pitching- On the mound he works fast through his delivery with a very clean, effortless arm that throws from a mid ¾ slot. His fastball was 80-82 mph with signs of plenty more in the tank (88 form OF) and natural arm side run. His curveball was 72 mph with 12/6 shape and good downward spin. He could finish his pitches a little more out in front, over his front knee which will allow for more action on his pitches.

PBR Futures Games- PA (July 31, 2014)

Burlingame ran a 7.17 60-yard dash, flashed an 85 mph bat exit velocity from the left side of the plate and showcased an 86 mph arm from the outfield during scout day activities. The lone prospect from the state of New York to participate in this year's event, the 5-foot-10, 170-pound continued to show the fluid left hand swing that caught our eye at the PBR Mid-Atlantic Border Battle. Burlingame's two run triple to left-center field against Team Select staked Team PA to a two run lead. The junior displayed the ability to be a top of the order hitter at the next level reaching base in four of his seven plate appearances in three games.

Burlingame went 6-for-11 in game play over four games at the PBR Mid-Atlantic Border Battle. Offensively- The 5-foot-10, 170-pound left-handed hitter showed good balance and a fluid swing from a square stance.
