The multi-talented prospect showcased quick feet, a soft glove hand and a strong arm from 3B (84 mph).

The 6-foot-1, 210-pound right-handed hitter displayed a balanced swing with explosive hands and hips that allowed him to drive the baseball repeatedly with authority.

1/26/13 Burger was impressive in all facets of the game. The 6-foot-1, 210-pound prospect was the top catcher at the event. He showcased pop times of 1.97-2.05 on throws of 76 mph from the crouch. Burger showed solid blocking and receiving skills as well. Offensively he used an 88 mph bat exit velocity to drive baseballs to the pull side. Burger used an explosive lower half to display legitimate power potential when he squared the baseball. If he becomes more refined and consistent with his swing Burger could be a middle of the order run producer at the next level.
