The 6-foot-4, 190 pound 2015 right-hander from New Orleans, LA was garnering significant interest before injuries plagued him during his junior campaign. A tall, lanky, projectable frame with a clean arm action out of mid-3/4’s arm slot, Burk had been up to 91 mph. Before the injury occurred, he would pitch 85-88 with decent life and quality angle. Showed a decent curveball with 11/5 shape, average spin and depth, with velocity at 72-74. Flashed a feel for a changeup, occasionally, that could be an average pitch at some point down the road. This summer Burk was up and down, mostly was 83-85 with a below average breaking ball, but he would still flash the above average ability in short spurts. He will be an interesting follow this spring, and could be an extremely nice late sign in the spring for someone if he returns to his early form.
