Burdue has a tall, athletic type build with plenty of room to still mature. His fastball has good life to it with some arm side run at 79-84 mph. His secondary pitch was a curveball that didn’t break a lot but showed 10/4 action at 64-72 mph. He is a max effort type guy that sometimes throws across his body cutting off his lower half. Has a tendency to miss arm side high when trying to get a few more miles an hour on his fastball. Overall, Burdue shows signs of being able to continuously get better as he continues working on his craft. A left-handed hitter that starts in a balanced stance. Double tap timing mechanism with slight back load shown in hands. Balanced launch with a slightly downhill path to contact. Offers a balanced combination of strength and speed through the zone. Ball jumps when squared up. Good athlete in the box. Gap pop presently with more to come. Well-rounded skill set in the outfield. Athletic feet with above average ball skills out there. Arm plays at all three spots.
