Robert
Burke

2/20/17 Northwestern State recruit, currently ranked No. 19 in Louisiana’s 2017 class. Athletic 6-foot-4, 200-pound frame, strong lower half, long limbs, room to add strength and size. Long arm action into over the top release with quick arm speed and moderate effort. Smooth rhythm, level shoulders, come slightly across his body, and finishes athletic. Fastball sat 87-91 mph with tilt to fastball, control within strike zone, and arm side run when arm slot occasional lowers to high-3/4. Breaking ball flashed sharpness with 11/5 shape, depth and tight spin, but struggled to repeat the release point consistently.
